Original text and translations

Italian text In questo seno estinto Son'io candido (orig. tenero) Fiore, Già de' più lieti campi il prim'honore; Qui da tema, e sospetto Fui tanto chiuso, e stretto, Ch'io mi morì di troppo grave arsura; O per me bella, e nobil sepoltura. Girolamo Casone, Rime (1598), F3

English translation In this lifeless breast I am a pale flower, once once the chief honor of happier fields. Here, from fear and suspicion, I was so enclosed and bound that I died of too great a drought. O, for me, a fair and noble grave. Translation by Allen Garvin
