E Filli m'ha detto

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

...E Filli m'ha detto:
Levatevi, amanti,
son tolti gl'incanti,
non regna più Amor!
Ma Filli al mio petto stringevo anelante,
e tutta tremante m'ha detto essa allor:
"Amore è un arciero che mai perde
li sproni od il cimiero!"

And Phyllis said to me

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

 And Phyllis said to me:
 Get up, you lovers,
 The enchantments are removed,
 Love rules no longer! 
 But Phyllis on my breast I held tight, breathless,
 And all trembling she said to me then:
 "Love is an archer who never loses
  his spurs or his helmet!"
