Original text and translations

Italian text Da te chieggio pietate, Filli non chieggio aita, Per allungar la vita, Che vedendo pietà sol' una volta, Nel tuo bel viso accolta, Morirò si ma'l core, Sentirà nel morir manco dolore.

English translation I pray you have pity on me, Phyllis: I do not ask for your help to prolong my life, for if only once I could see pity in your lovely face, I would die, yes, but my heart would feel no pain at that dying. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
