Original text and translations
English text
- Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone
- Feeding her flock near to the mountainside.
- The shepherds knew not whither she was gone,
- But after her lover Amyntas hied.
- Up and down he wandered whilst she was missing;
- When he found her, O then they fell a kissing.
Dutch translation
Een klein pareltje met de klank van kristal. Jan Wyns.
- Helemaal alleen zag ik daar Fair Phyllis zitten
- Terwijl ze haar kudde weide bij de heuvelrug.
- De herders wisten niet waarheen ze was gegaan,
- En zij haastte zich achter haar lief Amyntas aan.
- Hij zwierf in alle richtingen terwijl ze weg was;
- En toen hij haar vond, O, begonnen ze te kussen.

- Fair Phyllis sah ich bei der Felsenwand
- hüten die Herde einsam und allein.
- Die Hirten suchten, wo sie sich befand,
- doch hinter der treuen Gefährtin drein
- eilt' der Hirt Amyntas, der sie vermisste.
- Als er sie fand, o wie er sie dann küsste!
Übersetzung Peter Rottländer
Not poetic, but closer to the original:
- Ich sah die schöne Phyllis ganz alleine sitzen
- Und ihre Schafe am Berghang weiden.
- Die Hirten wußten nicht, wohin sie gegangen war,
- Aber der Verehrer Amyntas eilte ihr nach.
- Er wanderte auf und ab,
- solange sie verschollen war;
- Als er sie fand,
- O, dann fielen sie küssend nieder.
French translation
Janet Douguet
La belle Phyllis j'ai vu, assise toute seule,
Faisant paître son troupeau près du flanc de la montagne.
Les bergers ne savaient pas où elle s'en était allé.
Mais à sa suite son amant, Amyntas, se hâta.
En haut, en bas, il erra pendant qu'elle était absente;
Quand il la trouva, o alors, ils fondirent en embrassade.
