Original text and translations

Italian text Cinto m‘havea tra belle e nude braccia Amor pien di desio; Era tanto il diletto e ‘l piacer mio, Ch‘i provai come in un s‘arde et agghiaccia, E come in un baleno Si può per troppa gioia venir meno.

German translation Umschlossen hat mich in schönen und nackten Armen Amor, voll des Begehrens; so groß war der Genuss und die Freude, dass ich empfand, wie man gleichzeitig brennen und frieren kann, und wie man blitzschnell von zu großer Wonne ohnmächtig werden kann. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation Amor had embraced me in beautiful and naked arms full of desire; so great was my delight and pleasure that I experienced how one can burn and freeze at the same time, and how in a flash one can faint by too much joy. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
