Italian text
Cruda Amarilli, che col nome ancora,
D'amar, ahi lasso ! amaramente insegni;
Amarilli, del candido ligustro
Più candida e più bella,
Ma de l'aspido sordo
E più sorda e più fera e più fugace;
Poi che col dir t'offendo,
I' mi morro tacendo.
French translation
Cruelle Amaryllis, qui par ton nom même,
Enseignes, hélas, d'aimer l'amer tourment ;
Amaryllis, plus blanche et plus belle
Que n'est le blanc troène,
Mais plus sourde plus cruelle et plus fugace
Que la sourde vipère ;
Puisqu'en parlant te fais offense,
Je mourrai en silence.
