Original text and translations

Italian text Candido e verde fiore— che di speranza e fede tu pur m’imbianchi e mi rinverdi il core lasso—sì come chiaro in te si vede il tuo color sincero, scorgessi io sì de la mia donna il vero. O di mia speme allor goder potrei, O di mia fede, ne' tormenti miei!

English translation White and green flower— who with hope and faith purify me as well and rejuvenate my tired heart—I wish that as plainly I see in you your true colours, as plainly I would see the truth about my lady. Then I could enjoy my hope or my dedication, amidst my torments! Translation by Campelli
