Original text and translations

Italian text "Come havrà vita,Amor, la vita mia, S'ogn'hor langue il mio core? Come havran fin le dolorose tempre In cui vivo mai sempre, S'all'hor che più sperai da voi conforto Mi trafigesti à torto?" Così dicea un Pastore, Quando l'Aurora di fioretti il giorno Vestiva i colli e le campagne intorno.

English translation "How can my life have life, Amor, since my heart always languishes? How could the grievous tempers in which I constantly live come to an end, if whenever I hoped for your consolation you wounded me unjustly?" So spoke a shepherd, as dawn clothed the flowers, the hills and the fields around. Translation Paolo Quagliati
