Italian text

Poi ch’el mio largo pianto
Amor ti piace tanto
Asciuti mai quest’occhi non vedrai
Finche non venga fore
Ohime per gl’occh’il core.

English translation

As you like so much, my love,
My large crying
You shall never see dries these eyes
Until, alas, the heart
Will come out from my eyes.
