Rallegrati mio cor, ch'ogni dolore, che per donna hai patito in gioia è volto e al fin sei stato accolto nel sen della tua Diva ch'or d'ogni dubbio è priva, ch'avea del nostro amore. Onde vivrem beati a tutte l'ore. |
Rejoice, my heart, that every pain you have suffered for the lady is turned to joy, and at last you have been welcomed into the bosom of your Goddess who now is free from every doubt that she had of our love, Thus we will live blessed forever. |
