Quand' io mi volgo indietro a mirar gli anniA
-
THE REMEMBRANCE OF THE PAST ENHANCES HIS MISERYB
-
-
When I look back upon the many yearsC
Which in their flight my best thoughts have entomb'dD
And spent the fire that spite her ice consumedD
And finish'd the repose so full of tearsE
Broken the faith which Love's young dream endearsE
And the two parts of all my blessing doom'dD
This low in earth while heaven has that resumedD
And lost the guerdon of my pains and fearsE
I wake and feel me to the bitter windF
So bare I envy the worst lot I seeE
Self terror and heart grief on me so waitG
O Death O Fate O Fortune stars unkindF
O day for ever dark and drear to meE
How have ye sunk me in this abject stateG

-
When memory turns to gaze on time gone byI
Which in its flight hath arm'd e'en thought with wingsE
And to my troubled rest a period bringsE
Quells too the flame which long could ice defyI
And when I mark Love's promise wither'd lieI
That treasure parted which my bosom wringsE
For she in heaven her shrine to nature clingsE
Whilst thus my toils' reward she doth denyI
I then awake and feel bereaved indeedJ
The darkest fate on earth seems bliss to mineA
So much I fear myself and dread its woeK
O Fortune Death O star O fate decreedJ
O bitter day that yet must sweetly shineA
Alas too surely thou hast laid me lowK
