71. Concerning the Lamentable Death of Cino Da Pistola -
CONCERNING THE LAMENTABLE DEATH OF CINO DA PISTOIA
Weep, women, and with you weep Love as well!
Weep, lovers everywhere, a various throng!
Since he is dead, who while he lived had sung
So valiantly of Love! O ring his knell!
For me, my dear entreaties must compel
This cruel dolour not to check my tongue
Of its melodious tears nor make less long
The heart's moan that shall lighten the heart's hell.
Rhymes, weep, and verses, do you also weep!
Since Messer Cino, of love's fragrant line
The lord, is even now fast locked in sleep!
Oh weep, Pistoia, and your horde that keep
No memory of your neighbour so divine —
But Heaven, rejoice, that he is wholly thine!
Weep, women, and with you weep Love as well!
Weep, lovers everywhere, a various throng!
Since he is dead, who while he lived had sung
So valiantly of Love! O ring his knell!
For me, my dear entreaties must compel
This cruel dolour not to check my tongue
Of its melodious tears nor make less long
The heart's moan that shall lighten the heart's hell.
Rhymes, weep, and verses, do you also weep!
Since Messer Cino, of love's fragrant line
The lord, is even now fast locked in sleep!
Oh weep, Pistoia, and your horde that keep
No memory of your neighbour so divine —
But Heaven, rejoice, that he is wholly thine!
