7. Nesun visse già mai piú di me lieto,
nesun vive piú tristo et giorni et notti;
et doppiando 'l dolor, doppia lo stile
che trae del cor sí lagrimose rime.
Vissi di speme, or vivo pur di pianto,
né contra Morte spero altro che Morte.

No one alive has ever been so happy,
no one lives more sadly these days and nights:
and he doubles the grief, in a double style
who draws from the heart such sad rhyme.
I lived on hope, now I live by weeping,
and have no hope against Death, but Death.
