Original text and translations

Italian text

Fortuna desperata
iniqua e maledicta,
che di tal dona electa
la fama ay denegata.

English translation

Desperate fate,
iniquitous and maledicted,
that blackened the good name
of a woman beyond compare.

German translation

Verzweifeltes Schicksal,
ungerecht und verflucht,
das den Ruf einer solch erwählten Frau
verdunkelt hat.
