Original text and translations

Italian text Alla riva del Tebro giovanetto vid'io, vago pastore, mandar tai voci fuore: "Saziati, saziati, o cruda Dea, della mia acerba e rea", ma dir non puote: "morte", ch'il duol l'ancise. Ahi miserabil sorte!

English translation On the banks of the Tiber I saw a beautiful youth, A shepherd, And I heard a cry of sorrow. Be satisfied, cruel Goddess, With my bitter and … He did not finish: “Death”. He killed himself because of his pain. Ah wretched fate. Translation by James Gibb

Polish translation Nad brzegiem Tybru ujrzałem pasterza - a piękny był i młody - i usłyszałem, jak wołał z żałością: "Naciesz się, naciesz, okrutna bogini, widokiem strasznej moje…" Nie dokończył: "śmierci", zabił go bowiem ból. O nieszczęśliwa dolo!
