Original text and translations

Italian text Se per te moro, Aminta, Filli dicea da grave duol sospinta, perché ricusi almeno, baciami una sol volta, hai crudo core, negar un bacio a chi per te si more.

English translation Phyllis, in her woe: “I am dying, Aminta. Why refuse me a single kiss? Your heart is hard, denying the dying a kiss.” Translation by Nicholas Jones
