Original text and translations
English text
- Of all the tormants, all the cares,
- With which our lives are curst;
- Of all the plagues a lover bears,
- Sure rivals are the worst!
- By partners of each other kind
- afflictions easier grow;
- In love we hate to find
- Companions of our woe.
- Silvia, for all the pangs you see,
- Are laboring in my breast;
- I beg not you would favor me
- Would you but slight the rest.
- How great so e'er your rigors are
- With them alone I'll cope:
- I can endure my own despair,
- But not another's hope!
