My only hope lies in my despair.
I will die if I lose you, but I will die if I wait longer.
On the throne, one has many worries; and remorse is the one that weighs the least.
The glory of my name increases my shame. Less known by mortals, I could better escape their eyes.
You who love wild passions, flee the holy austerity of my pleasures. All here breathes of God, peace and truth.
Felicity is in possession, happiness in anticipation.
