«Dorinda, ah dirò mia, se mia non sei
se non quando ti perdo e quando morte
da me ricevi, e mia non fosti all’hora
ch’i’ ti potei dar vita?
Pur mia dirò, chè mia
sarai, malgrado di mia dura sorte,
e se mia non sarai con la tua vita,
sarai con la mia morte.
Ti fui crudele ed io
altro da te che crudeltà non bramo.
Ti disprezzai, superbo;
ecco, piegando le ginocchia a terra,
riverente t’adoro,
e ti chieggio perdon, ma non già vita.
Ecco gli strali e l’arco,
ma non ferir già tu gl’occhi o le mani,
ferisci questo cor che ti fu crudo:
eccoti il petto ignudo!»

«Dorinda—shall I say my Dorinda, if you are not mine
if not when I lose you and when you receive death
from me, and you were not mine when
I could have given you life?
Yet I will say “mine,” for mine
you shall be, in spite of my harsh fate,
and if you will not be mine with your life,
so you shall be with my death.
I was cruel to you, and I
seek nothing from you but cruelty.
Haughty, I scorned you;
behold, I bend my knees to the ground,
reverently I adore you
and beg pardon from you, but not life.
Here are the arrows and the bow,
but do not wound just my eyes or hands,
wound that heart which was cruel to you:
here is my bared breast!

Translation by Campelli
