Original text and translations

Italian text Filli, volgendo i lumi al vago Aminta, Dal profondo del cor trasse un sospiro, E disse: Aminta, io t'amo, e questa mano Sia pegno del mio amor, de la mia fede, Con c'hora à te mi lego; e per lei giuro, Che d’altri non sarò, se tua non sono. Tacque, e i begl' occhi gravidi di perle, Di purpureo color fur tinti intorno; E'l fortunato Aminta à lei sol rese, Per parole sospir, per grazie pianto.

English translation Phyllis, turning her eyes to pretty Amyntas, drew a sigh from the depth of her heart and said: «Amyntas, I love you, and may this hand be a pledge of my love, of my faithfulness with which I bind myself to you; and by it I swear that I shall be no other’s if I am not yours». She was silent, and her beautiful eyes, burdened with pearls, became stained around with purple; and the fortunate Amyntas returned to her only sighs for words and for thanks, weeping.
