Original text and translations

Italian text Tal io, gran tempo infermo E d'amorosa sete arso e consunto In dui bramati fonti, Che stillan ghiaccio da l'alpestre vena D'un indurato core, Ho bevuto il veleno, E spento il viver mio, Più tosto che'l desio. Il pastor fido (A3;S6;27;Mirtillo)

English translation So I long time with amorous thirst consum'd, From the two darling fountains of her eyes, Which flow with icy streams from that fierce heart Hard as a rock, sweet poisonous draughts have drunk That quench my life, but not my burning love. Translated by William Clapperton
