Original text and translations
Italian text
- Misero! io vengo meno e mi riduco
- all’ultimo momento di mia vita dolente
- senza che Filli onde mi struggo ed ardo
- miri questo trofeo del suo bel guardo.
- Non m’è grave morir per amore:
- sol provo dolore
- perché Filli morir non mi vede.
- Che sarebbe mia prospera sorte
- soffrire la morte,
- s’uno sguardo mi dasse in mercede.
