Italian.png Italian text Ultimi miei sospiri che mi lasciate fredd'e senza vita. Contate i miei martiri. Ai chi mori mi vedde et non m'aita, et dite, o beltà infinita, dal tuo fedel ne caccia empio martire. Et se questo gli e grato, gitene rat' in ciel a miglior stato, ma se pietà gli por g'il vostro dire, tornat' a me, ch'io non voro morire.

English.png English translation My last sighs leave me cold without life. Count my martyrdoms to the one who sees me and does not help me. And speak, O infinite beauty, that your faithful one may be spared pitiless suffering and if this is pleasing to her, go swiftly to heaven to a better state, but if your words arouse her pity, return to me because I do not want to die.
