Original text and translations
Italian text
- Quel dolce foc' in cui abbruggio ed ardo,
- e par ch'ad or' ad ora mi consumi,
- non d'altro vien che da bei vostri lumi
- però madonna fate sian più parchi
- nella turbata vista verso
- di quel che v'ama anzi v'adora
- e se per ben servir premio s'acquista
- non siate causa che languendo mora
- perché l'eterno biasmo acquistarete
- potendomi dar vita m'occidete.
English translation
- The sweet fire in which I burn,
- And that seems to consume me hour by hour,
- Only comes from your beautiful lights (read: eyes).
- But, Milady, let them be more moderate
- In the troublesome look
- At whom loves you, or more, adores you.
- And if it's true that, serving well, a prize is won
- Don't be the cause of his languishing death
- Because you would acquire eternal blame
- If, being able to give me life, you would kill me.
