Original text and translations

Italian text Perchè fuggi tra salci ritrosetta ma bella o cruda delle crude pastorella? Perchè un bacio ti tolsi? Miser, più che felice, corsi per sugger vita e morte colsi. Quel bacio che m'ha morto tra le rose d'amor pungente spina fu più vendetta tua che mia rapina.

English translation Why do you flee among the willows reluctant but beautiful one, oh cruelest of the cruel, shepherdess? Because I took a kiss from you? Misfortune more than happiness appeared in guise of life, but I seized death. That kiss that has killed me among the roses a sharp thorn was more your revenge than my little theft.
