Liquide perle, Amor dagli occhi sparse,
In premio del mio ardore,
Ma, lasso, ohime! che’l core
Di maggior foco m'arse;
Ahi, che bastava solo
A darmi morte il primo ardente duolo.

English.png English translation

Liquid pearls from Love's eyes scattered
in reward for my ardor,
but, alas! my heart
burns from a fiercer flame;
Ah, it alone suffices,
that first ardent pain, to bring me death.

Translation by Allen Garvin
