Original text and translations

Italian text   Quasi lampo venesti di candor cinta e di bei raggi d'oro. Quasi lampo fuggesti ch'à pena dir potea à Dio mi moro.

Dutch translation Als de bliksem kwam je omgord met openhartigheid en prachtige gouden stralen. Als de bliksem vluchtte je omdat het pijnlijk is aan God te zeggen dat ik zou kunnen sterven.

English translation Like lightning you came girded with candor and beautiful golden rays. Like lightning you fled because it's painful to tell God I could die.
