Language: English 
Now I know what it is to have strove
With the Torment of Doubt ad Desire,
What it is to admire and to love,
And to leave her we love and admire.

Ah! lead forth my Flock in the Morn,
And the Damps of the Ev'ning repel;
Alas! I am faint and forlorn,
I've bad my dear Phillis farewel!
