Ditelo, O fiumi, e voi ch'udiste Glauco
L'aria ferir dì grida in su la tomba,
Erme campagne - e'l san le Ninfe e 'l Cielo:
A me fu cibo il duol, bevanda il pianto,
- Letto, O sasso felice, il tuo bel seno -
Poi ch'il mio ben coprì gelida terra.

Say it, o rivers, and you, lonely fields
who hear Glaucus rend the air with cries over
her tomb, that the Nymphs and heaven may know:
grief has become my food, tears my drink,
your fair breast, o happy rock, my bed,
since my beloved was laid in frozen earth.
