Non piangete, amati rai
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Non piangete amati rai,
nol richiede il morir mio;
lo sapete, io sol bramai
rivedervi e poi morir.
E tu resta ognor dubbioso,
crudo re, senza riposo
le tue furie alimentando,
fabbricando il tuo martir.

Weep not, o beloved eyes
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Weep not, o beloved eyes,
seek not my death.
You know that I have only desired
to see you once more and then die.
And you, o cruel king,
remain ever doubtful,
nourishing the furies that torment you,
compassing your own anguish.
