Our translations: FRE
Ohimè, dov'è il mio ben? Dov'è il mio core? Chi m'asconde il mio core: e chi me 'l toglie? Dunque ha potuto sol desio d'honore Darmi fera cagion di tante doglie? Dunque ha potuto in me più che 'l mio amore Ambitiose, e troppo lievi voglie? Ahi sciocco mondo, e cieco! ahi cruda sorte, Che ministro mi fai de la mia morte.
