Z 630 The Indian Queen, III, 4: "I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain". [Italian translation]

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,

Since I am myself my own fever and pain.

No more now, fond heart, with pride no more swell;

Thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel.

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,

Since I am myself my own fever and pain.

For love has more power and less mercy than fate,

To make us seek ruin and of those that hate.

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,

Since I am myself my own fever and pain.
