In questa tomba oscura Lasciami riposar; Quando vivevo, ingrata, Dovevi a me pensar. Lascia che l'ombre ignude Godansi pace almen E non, e non bagnar mie ceneri D'inutile velen.

In this dark tomb let me lie; you should have thought of me when I was alive, you ingrate. At least leave naked spectres to enjoy their peace And do not bathe my ashes with futile venom.
