Original text and translations

Italian text Poi ch'ella in se tornò, deserto e muto, Quanto mirar potè, d'intorno scorse. Ito se n' è pur, disse, ed ha potuto Me qui lasciar della mia vita in forse? Nè un momento indugiò : nè un breve ajuto Nel caso estremo il traditor mi porse? Ed io pur anco l'amo ? e in quello lido Invendicata ancor piango, e m' assido? Gerusalemme liberata 16/63

English translation Waked from her trance, foresaken, speechless, sad,  Armida wildly stared and gazed about,  "And is he gone," quoth she, "nor pity had  To leave me thus twixt life and death in doubt?  Could he not stay? could not the traitor-lad  From this last trance help or recall me out?  And do I love him still, and on this sand  Still unrevenged, still mourn, still weeping stand? Translated by Edward Fairfax (1560-1635)
