Here you will find the Poem O all my labours scattered uselessly of poet Gaspara Stampa
O all my labours scattered uselessly O, all my useless scattered sighs, O loyalty, that never, O living fire, Chilled or burned others so, if I see truly, O paper marked, to be marked, in vain, In praise of those loved and ardent eyes, O those hopes ministering to desires, That their worthiest prize should claim, All, all, in a moment, gathered by the breeze, Since I have heard my impious lord With my own ears, himself speak free, Saying when near that he thinks of me, And yet in leaving, in an instant leaves, Of all my love, his every memory.
