138 DONNA G. CARDAMONE JACKSON (1) S’io canto e tu mi spacci per cicala, Et ti fai beffe delli versi mei. Oime, o mei amanti poveretti, Le donne voglion altro che sonnetti. (2) Malhaggia chi per te scrive o cicale, Io ’l feci e carta e voci ne perdei. Oime, o mei amanti poveretti, Le donne voglion altro che sonnetti. (3) Tu me l’hai bella pur data in su l’ala, Ond’io mi doglio e non quanto vorrei. Oime, o mei amanti poveretti, Le donne voglion altro che sonnetti. (4) In questo mondo chi salie e chi cala, Altri è salito ond’io lasso cader. Oime, o mei amanti poveretti, Le donne voglion altro che sonnetti. If I sing, you pass me off as a cricket, and you make fun of my verses. Alas, oh my poor lovers, the ladies want something other than sonnets. Woe to the one who writes or sings for you, I did it and I wasted paper and sounds. Alas, oh my poor lovers, the ladies want something other than sonnets. You my beauty have even clipped my wings, so I grieve and not as much as I would like. Alas, oh my poor lovers, the ladies want something other than sonnets. In this world some rise and others fall, someone else has risen where I have fallen. Alas, oh my poor lovers, the ladies want something other than sonnets. Example 2. S’io canto e tu mi spacci per cicala, Cantus, 1555 30 ; Tenor, 1558 16 .
