Original text and translations

Italian text Amarilli Deh, dolce anima mia, Partiti; e ti consola, Ch'infinita è la schiera Degli infelici amanti. Vive ben altri in pianti Sì come tu, cor mio (Mirtillo). Ogni ferita Ha seco il suo dolore, Né se' tu solo a lagrimar d'amore.  Guarini, Il Pastor fido, Act 3, Scene 3, line 295

English translation Amarillis Thou shoul'st depart; I've heard thee much too long; Go, and console thyself with this at least, Of hopeless lovers there's a numerous crowd; There is no wound but carries with it pain, Many, as well as thou, of love complain. Translation by William Clapperton
