La pastorella
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Odia la pastorella quanto bramò la rosa,
Poiché vicino a quella la serpe ritrovò.
Non più sui primi albori ad innaffiar va i fiori,
Da che nascosta un’ape la bella man piagò.
Anch’io da che l’amore crudel ferimmi il core,
Odio l’indegno Aminta ch’il giuro profanò.

The shepherdess
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Hates the shepherdess how much she yearned for the rose,
Because close to it the serpent she found.
No more at first dawn does she go to water the flowers,
Where was hidden a bee [which] the beautiful hand plagued.
I also where cruel love wounded my heart,
I hate the vile Aminta who the vow defiled.
