Original text and translations

Italian text Ite voi, che chiudeste L'orribil fera,a dar l'usato segno De la futura caccia; ite svegliando Gli occhi col corno e con le voci i cori. Se fu mai ne l'Arcadia Pastor, di Cintia e de'suoi studi amico Cui stimolasse il generoso petto Cura o gloria di selve, Oggi il mostri,e mi segua. Il pastor fido (A1;S1;1;Silvio)

English translation Go, ye that have the frightful monster lodg'd, And give the wonted signal for the chase; Go, with your cheerful cries, and echoing horns, Dispel dull sleep, and rouse the listless heart. If in Arcadia there was ever found A shepherd swain, a friend to Cynthia's sports, Whose gen'rous breast the pleasures of the chase And glory gain'd in woods could stimulate, If such a swain there be, now let him show His love of toils like these, by following me. Translated by William Clapperton
