Original text and translations

Italian text Non vedrò mai le stelle de’ bei celesti giri, perfida, ch’io non miri gli occhi che fur presenti alla dura cagion de’ miei tormenti, e ch’io non dica lor: o luci belle, deh siate sì rubelle di lume a chi ribella è sì di fede, ch’anzi a tant’occhi e tanti lumi ha core tradire amante sotto fe’ d’amore.

English translation I’ll never see the stars again revolving in the heavens above, treachery! without seeing in them the eyes that did witness the bitter cause of my torment, nor say: oh lovely stars, take away your light as she did take away her faith in me; for in spite of all the eyes and all the lights, she did dare betray the lover she had sworn to love.
