Tra sospiri e querele, la mia donna fallace ora m'indice guerra, or nunzia pace, sì che confuso fra speme e timore ride e piang'il mio core. |
Twixt sighs and complaints, my deceitful lady now wages war on me, now offers peace, such that, confused between hope and fear, my heart laughs and weeps. |
