Original text and translations

Italian text Vivo, mio Sol, tu giri Le luci, e me non miri? Forse pietoso il fai. Ch'io non mácciechi à sì possenti rai? Ah, più tosto crudel, qual'hora meco La tua luce non veggio, all'hor son cieco. Giambattista Marino La Lira, Seconda parte, madrigali 59, p 69

English translation I am alive, my sun; circling Rays you cast about, and do you look not at me? Do you do this for pity's sake, Lest I be blinded by such powerful beams? Ah, at once more cruel: whenever Your light is not upon me, them am I blind. Translation by Edmund Strainchamps
