I' son colui cui tu forzevolmente facesti servo di colei, che queta non fa mie doglia nT segue tu' arte. Adunque, Amor, deh fa con l'arco tuo che questa donna degni 'l servo suo. TranslationO most high mirror of all celestial bodies.you are worthy of sovereignty in heaven, powerful because your might pervades in its every part. I am the one whom you forced to become a liege to one who does not care to calm my ills and pains, nor to follow your art. Therefore, Love, with your bow, I pray make her take pity on her servant.
