Sparge la morte al mio Signor nel viso Tra squallidi pallori Pietosissimi horrori, Poi lo rimira e ne divien pietosa; Geme, sospira, e più ferir non osa. Ei, che temer la mira, Inchina il capo, asconde il viso, e spira.

Over my lord's face, Death floods Over its bleak pallor The most piteous horrors, Then looks at him and is moved to pity; He groans, sighs, and does not dare to strike again. My lord, seeing Death himself is afraid, Bows his head, covers his face, and dies.
