Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Di furto ancor oltre ogni vizio rio,
di te, crudele, ho da dolermi molto.
Che tu mi tenga il cor, non ti dico io;
di questo io vo’ che tu ne vada sciolto: 1
dico di te, che t’eri fatto mio,
e poi contra ragion mi ti sei tolto.
Renditi, iniquo, a me; che tu sai bene
che non si può salvar chi l’altrui tiene.

English.png English translation

If she in any manner could have thought,
Or hoped to have concealed the intended theft,
The bleeding warrior's surcoat, richly wrought,
She would, together with his arms, have reft;
But at what might be safely hidden, caught,
And, grieved at heart, forewent the glorious weft.
Him of a beauteous girdle she undrest,
And this secured between a double vest.

by William Stewart Rose (1775-1843)
