Or che 'l ciel e la terra e 'l vento tace, E le fere e gli augelli il sonno affrena, Notte il carro stellato in giro mena E nel suo letto il mar senz'onda giace; Vegghio, penso, ardo, piango; e chi mi sface Sempre m'è inanzi per mia dolce pena: Guerra è il mio stato, d'ira et di duol piena; E sol di lei pensando ho qualche pace. Così sol d'una chiara fonte viva Move 'l dolce e l'amaro ond'io mi pasco; Una man sola mi risana e punge. E perchè 'l mio martìr non giunga a riva, Mille volte il dì moro e mille nasco; Tanto da la salute mia son lunge!

现在天地和风都已沉静， 野兽和飞鸟也睡意朦胧， 夜晚星光之车转个不停 大海躺在床上波涛不兴; 望、思、虑、泣; 魂牵梦绕丽人 总是带着甜蜜悲伤来访： 宛如战争充满愤怒悲伤； 想她时和平才占据我心。 所以一清澈而流淌的泉 涌出我饮的苦涩和甘甜; 同一手给我痊愈和伤残。 为何殉难没有到达岸边， 在一天之中我生死千遍； 离我的平安又如此遥远！
