Original text and translations

Italian text Darà la notte il sol lume alla terra splenderà Cintia il di, prima che Glauco di baciar, d'honorar lasci quel seno che fu nido d'Amor, che dura tomba preme. Nel sol d'alti sospir, di pianto, prodighe a lui saran le fere e 'l Cielo.

English translation By the night the sun will light up the earth, the moon will shine by day, ere Glaucus cease kissing and honouring that breast wherein Love nested, and which now lies crushed in a sad grave. The beasts and heaven will greatly pity his sighs and tears.
