Original text and translations

Italian text Care lagrime mie, messi dolenti di mie pene rie, poiché voi non potete far molle, ohime! quel core che non haver pietà del mio dolore, almen per cortesia ammorzate l’accesa fiamma mia, o pur crescete tanto ch’io mi sommerga nel mio stesso pianto.

English translation Dear tears of mine, sorrowful envoys of my cruel pains, since you cannot—alas!— soften that heart which has no pity for my grief, at least, out of courtesy, snuff out my burning flame, or else flow so intensely that I drown myself in my own tears.
