Original text and translations

Italian Se taccio, il duol s’avanza, se parlo, accresce l’ira, donna bella e crudel che mi martira. Ma pur prendo speranza, che l’umiltà vi pieghi, chè nel silenzio ancor son voci e prieghi.

English

If I am silent, the grief advances If I speak, I increase the anger of my beautiful and cruel lady who torments me. And yet I take hope that you will yield to my humility that in my silence even are my voice and prayers.
