Amarilli
Deh, dolce anima mia,
Partiti; e ti consola,
Ch'infinita è la schiera
Degli infelici amanti.
Vive ben altri in pianti
Sì come tu, cor mio (Mirtillo). Ogni ferita
Ha seco il suo dolore,
Né se' tu solo a lagrimar d'amore.

 Guarini, Il Pastor fido, Act 3, Scene 3, line 295

Amarillis

Thou shoul'st depart;
I've heard thee much too long;
Go, and console thyself with this at least,
Of hopeless lovers there's a numerous crowd;
There is no wound but carries with it pain,
Many, as well as thou, of love complain.

Translation by William Clapperton
