Original text and translations

Italian text

  Come po far el cielo
  Chio viva al mio dispecto
  Sio vivesse in dilecto
  Io moreria.

  Come po far idei
  Che in questa accerba pena
  De qual mia spoglia apiena
  Io stia si forte

  Come po far mia sorte
  Che sia tanto stratiato
  Che non giova al mio stato
  Cosa alchuna

  come po far fortuna
  che hormai non dia volta
  Tal che da me sia tolta
  Ogni tristitia

  Come po far iustitia
  Che per servir e amare
  Io nhabia a riportare
  aspro dolore
