Original text and translations

Italian text Piangi cor mio se per l'estremo pianto ritornasse fortuna i primi giorni, poi che sí tosto il mio felice stato mi svelse nel fiorir dei primi rami, e, quant'avea di ben in questa vita, rivolse in piant'amaro e 'n duro stile.

English translation Weep, my heart, if by the utmost lament fortune would bring back the early days, as it so swiftly uprooted my happy state from the blooming of the first boughs and, however much good I had had in this life, transformed it into bitter weeping and harsh form. Translation by Allen Garvin
