Ardi e gela a tua voglia

Language: Italian

Ardi e gela a tua voglia
Perfido e impudico 
Hor amante, hor nemico, 
Che d'inconstante [sic] ingegno 
Poco l'amore istimo e men lo sdegno,
E se l'amor fu vano 
Van sia lo sdegno del tuo core insano.

Burn or freeze as it doth please thee

Language: English

 Burn or freeze as it doth please thee,
 false art thou and insolent,
 now tender, now belligerent; 
 the love of a weathercock can impress
 but little, and its anger less,
 and since thy heart's insane, 
 then let it rage, as it has loved, in vain.
