Original text and translations

Italian text Guarda il mio stato a le vaghezze nuove Ch'interrompendo di mia vita il corso M'han fatto abitator d'ombroso bosco Rendemi s'esser può libera e sciolta L'errante mia consorte e fia tuo il pregio se ancor teco la trovo in miglior parte. Canzoniere 214

English translation Care for my being: guard it from these new wanderings that, interrupting my life's path, have made me a dweller in the shadowy wood: render, if you can, my errant soul, free and unfettered, and let yours be the prize if I find it, at last, with You, in a better place.
