Original text and translations

Italian text Vezzosa Filli, il tuo leggiadr’aspetto E le luci serene Fammi dolci i martir, dolci le pene Sì che di gioia ho sempr’ingombr’il petto Nè può tanto diletto Cangiarsi in doglia, quando Toglie ogni duol da tuoi begl’occchi bando. Ond’alcun male in me non ha ricetto E così il mio martir ogn’hor reciso Sarà dal tuo bel viso.

German translation Hübsche Phyllis, dein anmutiger Anblick und die klaren Augen machen so süß mir die Martern, so süß die Qualen, dass meine Brust immer mit Freude erfüllt ist, und nicht kann solches Vergnügen sich in Schmerz verwandeln, wenn es das Leid erträgt, von deinen schönen Augen verbannt zu sein. Daher kann nichts Böses bei mir Obdach finden, und so wird mein Leiden immer beendet werden durch dein schönes Antlitz. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation Pretty Phyllis, your charming aspect und the serene eyes make so weet to me the torments and the pains, that my breast is always filled by joy, nor can such happiness turn into sorrow, when it bears the pain of being banned from your eyes. Hence nothing bad can find entrance within me, and so my pain will always be cut short by your beautiful sight. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
