Original text and translations

Italian text 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.

English translation 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.
