Italian text

Interrotte speranze, eterna

fede,
fiamme e strali possenti in
debil core;
nutrir sol di sospir un fero
ardore
e celar il suo mal quandaltri il
vede;
seguir di vago e fuggitivo
piede
lorme rivolte a volontario
errore;
perder del seme sparso el
frutto el fiore
e la sperata al gran languir
mercede;
far duno sguardo sol legge ai
pensieri
e dun casto voler freno al
deso,
e spender lacrimando i lustri
interi:
questi cha voi, quasi gran
fasci invio,
donna crudel, daspri tormenti
e fieri,
saranno i trofei vostri el rogo
mio.
English translation
Broken hope, eternal faith,
poerful flames and ra!s in the
eak heart;
ith "ust one sigh nourish the
fervant ardour
and hide !our eakness from
others;
follo from the andering, fugitive
foot
the tracks that lead toards illful
erring;
lose from the idespread seed
both fruit and floer
and the e#pected merc! from the
great anguish;
from "ust one look dictate the las
of thought
and ith chaste resolution stifle
the desire,
and tears shall flo for lustrums;
I send !ou a large bunch
of harsh and dire torments, cruel
lad!,
that shall be !our troph! and m!
damnation.
