“Clorinda false, adieu thy love torments me;
“Clorinda false, adieu thy love torments me;
Let Thyrsis have thy heart  
Let Thyrsis have thy heart, since he contents thee.
Since he contents thee
O grief and bitter anguish,
O grief and bitter anguish,
for thee I languish.
for thee I languish.

I can, I cannot I abide it.
I can, I cannot I abide it.
Adieu, adieu, adieu then,  
Adieu, adieu, adieu then,  
farewell leave me,
farewell leave me, death now desiring,  
death now desiring,  
thou hast, lo, thy requiring.”
thou hast, lo, thy requiring.”


Thus spake Philistus on his hook relying,
Thus spake Philistus, on his hook relying,
and sweetly, sweetly, sweet fell adying.
and sweetly, sweetly, sweetly fell adying.

“Clorinda false, adieu thy love torments me;
Let Thyrsis have thy heart, since he contents thee.
O grief and bitter anguish,
for thee I languish.
fain I alas would hide it.
O but who can abide it?
I can, I cannot I abide it.
Adieu, adieu, adieu then,
farewell leave me, death now desiring,
thou hast, lo, thy requiring.”

Thus spake Philistus, on his hook relying,
and sweetly, sweetly, sweetly fell adying.
