Chiudi quei lumi divini<br />
come fan gl’altri bambini<br />
perche tosto oscuro velo<br />
priverà di lume il cielo.<br />
Deh ben mio…<br />
Over prendi questo latte<br />
dalle mie mamelle intatte<br />
perche ministro crudele<br />
ti prepara acceto e fiele.<br />
Deh ben mio…<br />
Amor mio sia questo petto<br />
hor per te morbido letto<br />
pria che rendi ad alta voce<br />
l’alma al Padre sù la croce.<br />
Deh ben mio…<br />
Posa hor queste membra belle<br />
vezzosette e tenerelle<br />
perchè puoi ferri e catene<br />
gli daran acerbe pene.<br />
Deh ben mio…<br />
Queste mani e questi piedi<br />
ch’hor con gusto e gaudio vedi<br />
ahime com’in varii modi<br />
passeran acuti chiodi!<br />
Questa facia gratiosa<br />
rubiconda hor più che rosa<br />
sputi e schiaffi sporcheranno<br />
con tormento e grand’affanno.<br />

Close your heavenly eyes<br />
as other babies are wont to do;<br />
for soon a dark veil<br />
will come to cover the sky.<br />
O my dear one, my heart...<br />
Meanwhile take this milk<br />
from my unsullied breasts;<br />
for a cruel governor<br />
is preparing vinegar and bitterness for you.<br />
O my dear one, my heart...<br />
My loved one, let this breast<br />
be a soft bed for you today,<br />
before, with a loud cry, you surrender<br />
your Soul to the Father, on the Cross.<br />
O my dear one, my heart...<br />
Rest now these beautiful limbs,<br />
so precious and delicate;<br />
for later, they will be racked<br />
by cruel irons and chains.<br />
O my dear one, my heart...<br />
These hands and feet,<br />
which now I behold with pleasure and joy,<br />
alas, in how many ways<br />
will they be pierced by sharp nails!<br />
This graceful face,<br />
more ruddy than a rose,<br />
will be spat upon and defiled,<br />
with torture and suffering.
