Ancor che per amarti io mi consumi In ogni parte e non a me rimiri Tu, bramata cagion di miei martiri. Deh, volgi homai ver me gli amati lumi Poi che vil fango ancor rimirar suole Senza oscurar i suoi bei raggi, il Sole.

Même si de t'aimer je me consume Dans chaque partie, tu ne me remarques pas, Toi, cause désirée de mon martyre, Ah, si tu tournais vers moi tes yeux aimés, Car sur un sol de vile boue, il peut briller Sans obscurcir ses beaux rayons, le soleil.
