If a lover's heart, by humbling itself, can deserve solace despite the wrongs he has done, I believe that my peerless lady should release me from my sufferings. I do nothing but grow melancholy, but nevertheless I must not be blamed. For indeed we see the greatest men acting foolishly sometimes, even the wisest of them, so, since I am only a prisoner, I am in a much better position to say, without getting it wrong: If a lover's heart, by humbling itself, can deserve solace despite the wrongs he has done, I believe that my peerless lady should release me from my sufferings
