English text

These that be certain signs of my tormenting,
Sighs be they none, no nor any sigh so showeth
Those have some truce, but these have no relenting.

Not so exhales the heat that in me gloweth,
Fierce Love that burns my heart makes all this venting,
While with his wings the raging fire he bloweth;

Say, Love, with what device thou canst forever
Keep it in flames still, and yet consume it never,
