Ma tu, piú che mai dura, favilla di pietà non senti ancora; anzi t'inaspri piú, quanto piú prego. Cosí senza parlar dunque m'ascolti? A chi parlo, infelice? a un muto marmo? S'altro non mi vuoi dir, dimmi almen: «Mori!» e morir mi vedrai. Questa è ben, empio Amor, miseria estrema, che sí rigida ninfa [e del mio fin sí vaga, perché grazia di lei non sia la morte mia, morte mi neghi,]1 [né]2 mi risponda, e l'armi d'una sola sdegnosa e cruda voce sdegni di proferire al mio morir.

Mais toi, plus dure que jamais, tu ne sens même pas une étincelle de pitié ; plutôt, tu deviens plus dure quand je te prie plus. Ainsi sans parler tu m'écoutes donc ? À qui parlé-je, malheureux, à une pierre muette ? Si tu ne veux rien me dire d'autre , dis au moins : « Meurs ! » et tu me verras mourir. C'est bien, perfide Amour, la peine la plus extrême qu'une nymphe aussi sévère ne me réponde pas, et l'arme d'un seul mot dédaigneux et cruel, elle dédaigne de le prononcer pour ma mort.
