[Ne']1 campi e nelle selve Seguivo già le belve, Pascevo il gregge ancor Libero pastorello, Libero cacciator; Ora non son più quello: Perdei la libertà. E quel ch'è peggio, oh Dio, Come se il mio tormento Colpa non sia di lei, Mostrare al mio lamento Clori non vuol pietà.

Pelloilla ja metsissä olen ennen ajanut riistaa ja paimentanut laumaani vapaana paimenena, vapaana metsästäjänä. Mutta enää en ole sellainen. menetin vapauteni. Ja mikä pahinta, hyvä Luoja, tyttö väittää, ettei tuskani olisi hänen syytään, niinpä minun valitukseni eivät saa Clorista liikuttumaan.
