{{Translation|English| | |||
Love, Nature, and the lovely humble soul, | |||
where every virtue lives and reigns, | |||
are my sworn enemies now: Love conspires | |||
to bring about my death as is his custom: | |||
Nature holds her by such a slender thread, | |||
there is barely enough strength to sustain her: | |||
she is so diffident, that she no longer deigns | |||
to live on in this vile and wearisome world. | |||
So that the life from hour to hour grows less | |||
in those dear lovely chaste limbs | |||
that are the mirrors of true gracefulness: | |||
and if Mercy does not tighten Death’s rein, | |||
alas, I see only too well what state vain hope | |||
will come to, by which I used to live.}} | |||
