English text

Come Damon, leave thy sadness now, I prithee tell,
What makes this sadness in thy looks to dwell?
Is Daphne gone? We'll join our sorrows
Then in one. And with devotion as we go,
To unfold our flocks upon the downs,
We'll make a ring and with our voices sing.
Let sorrow die; 'tis love and concord we live by.
