English text
Thirsis; let pity, let some pity move thee;
thou knowest, O alas, thy Cloris too well doth love thee,
then why, O dost thou fly me?
I faint alas here must I lie me:
Cry, alas now for grief since he is bereft thee:
up the hills down the dales thou seest, dear;
up the hills down the dales I have not left thee.
Ah, can these trickling tears, these tears of mine, not procure love?
what Shepherd ever killed a Nymph for pure love?
See, cruel, see the beasts, see their tears they do reward me,
yet thou dost not regard me.
