TextAmor, tu solo 'l saiquella che 'l mie cor tene. per cui spess'avene ch'i' piango meco gl'infiniti guai. Nessuno 'l sa se non colui che 'l prova come dentro dimora chi non ha con cui sprema 'l suo dolore. Fa come el foco, ch'ardendo non trova via, onde divora pi· che non fa sfogando suo valore. Omai per tanto ardore non sentir= pi· bene. chT chi tanto sostene gia pi· non po' e morir lo vedrai. TranslationO Love, you only knowhow she holds my heart so that I often weep over my endless woes. Only those who experience it know how sorrow stays inside if it is not shared with someone else. and it acts like a fire which, not finding a way through. burns much more than it would if its power had a normal outlet. The fire is such, by now, that life will no longer hold any goodness for me. because one who bears so much cannot bear it any longer and you will see him die.
