Original text and translations

Italian text Chiamo la mort’, haimè, che me ne levi, per questa ingrata che mi stratia tanto, o bell’avanto, o bell’honore, a dar la mort’a chi t’ha dato il core.

German translation Ich wünsche den Tod, ach, dass er mich hinwegnehme, durch die Undankbare,die mich so sehr quält, oh welcher Vorzug, oh welche Ehre den Tod zu geben demjenigen, der dir sein Herz gab. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation I ask for death, alas, that it may take me away, by the ingrate that tortures me so much, oh what advantage, oh what honour, to give death to him that gave his heart to you. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
