Infirmata, vulnerata puro deficit amore et liquescens gravi ardore languet anima beata. O care, o dulcis amor, quomodo mutatus es mihi in crudelem, quem numquam agnovisti infidelem? Vulnera percute, transfige cor. Tormenta pati non timeo. Cur, quaeso, crudelis es factus gravis? Sum tibi fidelis, sis mihi suavis. Vicisti, amor, et cor meum cessit amori. Semper gratus, desiderabilis, semper eris in me. Veni, o care, totus amabilis, in aeternum diligam te.

Affaiblie, blessée, elle manque d'un amour pur et languissante d'un amour puissant mon âme brûle. Ô cher, doux amour, comment t'es-tu changé en cruauté envers moi, alors que tu sais que je n'ai jamais été infidèle ? Blesse-moi, frappe-moi, perce mon cœur. Je ne crains pas les tourments. Pourquoi, je demande, cruel, es-tu devenu si dur ? Je te suis fidèle, sois doux avec moi. Tu as vaincu, amour, et mon cœur cède à l'amour. Toujours agréable, toujours désirable, sois toujours en moi. Viens, ô cher, pleinement digne d'amour, je t'aimerai pour toujours.
