Italian text
Ver' infern' e'l mio petto,
Ver' infernale spirito son' io,
E ver' infernal foco e'l foco mio.
Senza fin' ardo e son di speme privo,
E dell' amat' obietto,
Eternamente l' alma vista' ho persa,
Et ostina to in una voglia vivo,
Sol di tant' e diversa
La sorte mia dalla perduta gente,
Ch'a ragion quella et io ard' innocente,
Maladice sovente,
Et odia quella il suo fattor' Iddio,
Et io chi m' arde laud' amo' e desio.
