Canzon discapigliata va'piangendo
Language:
Italian
Canzon discapigliata va'piangendo,
Rompendo ogni durezza di cor duro;
Dì che nostra natura
Ritorna, e si converte pure in terra;
Ma spirto, che non erra,
La sciagura,
Che l'anima, ch'è pura,
Ritorna in Cielo el suo fatto chiedendo.
Note: this is the end of the poem beginning "O lento, pigro, ingrato, ignar che fai"

Go, song of mine
Language:
English
Dishevell'd and in tears, go, song of mine,
To break the hardness of the heart of man:
Say how his life began
From dust, and in that dust doth sink supine:
Yet, say, th'unerring spirit of grief shall guide
His soul, being purified,
To seek its Maker at the heav'nly shrine.
Note: this is the end of a poem beginning "O sluggish, hard, ingrate, what doest thou?" Rossetti's source was Cicciaporci: Rime Inedite, Canzone XI, pages 68-71.
