Original text and translations

Italian text Ancor che per amarti io mi consumi in ogni parte e non a me rimiri tu, bramata cagion di miei martiri— deh, volgi omai ver me gli amati lumi poi che vil fango ancor rimirar suole senza oscurar i suoi bei raggi, il Sole.

English translation Although every part of me is consumed by love for you and you do not look at me, longed-for cause of my torture— ah, turn already your beloved eyes to me, for the Sun can look upon lowly mud without its lovely rays being dimmed. Translation by Campelli
