Latin text
Cara, vale! ingenio praestans, pietate, pudore,
- Et plus quam natae nomine cara, vale!
Cara Maria, vale! At veniet felicius aevum,
- Quando iterum tecum, sim modo dignus, ero.
Cara, redi, laeta tum dicam voce, paternos
- Eia! age in amplexus, cara Maria, redi.
English translation
From 1834 New England Magazine
Dear one, farewell! with genius blessed,
- With grace and piety,
But dearer by a daughter's name,
- Alas ! farewell to thee
Farewell, Maria dear! a happier time
- Will surely be,
When I again, if worthy found,
- Shall meet with thee.
Dear one, return ! with joyful voice
- My words will be,
Come to thy father's arms, Maria dear,
- Return again to me.
