Original text and translations

English text

Ah! cruel Amarillis, since thou tak’st delight
To hear the accents of a doleful ditty,
To triumph still without remorse or pity;
I loathe this life,death must my sorrow right;

And lest vain hope my miseries renew,
Come quickly,death,
‘Reave me of breath,
Ah! cruel Amarillis, adieu.

French text

Ah! cruelle Amaryllis, puisque tu prends plaisir
À entendre les accents d'une triste chanson,
Et à triompher sans remords ni pitié ;
J'abhorre cette vie, la mort doit donner raison à mon chagrin.

Et pour que de vains espoirs ne fassent renaître mes misères,
Mort, viens vite,
Prive-moi de mon souffle,
Ah! cruelle Amaryllis, adieu.
