Original text and translations

English text

Charmer, hear a faithful lover,
Nor disdain to admit his flame;
Cease to slight, your scorn give over,
Constant ever he'll remain.

Charms surround his lovely features,
Tender pity grant your slave:
Turn, and be so kind a creature;
Haste, and heal the wounds you gave.
