Original text and translations

Italian text Così doleasi; e con le flebil'onde Ch'amor, e sdegno da'begli occhi stilla, L'affettuoso pianto egli confonde, In cui pudica la pietà sfavilla: E con modi dolcissimi risponde: Armida, il cor turbato omai tranquilla: Non agli scherni, al regno io ti riservo, Nemico no; ma tuo campione, e servo. Gerusalemme liberata 20/134

English translation Thus mourned she, and from her watery eyes Disdain and love dropped down, rolled up in tears; From his pure fountains ran two streams likewise, Wherein chaste pity and mild ruth appears: Thus with sweet words the queen he pacifies, "Madam, appease your grief, your wrath, your fears, For to be crowned, not scorned, your life I save; Your foe nay, but your friend, your knight, your slave. Translated by Edward Fairfax (1560-1635)
