Original text and translations

Italian text Ma te raccoglie, O Ninfa, in grembo 'l cielo. Io per te miro vedova la terra deserti i boschi e correr fium'il pianto; e Driade e Napee del mesto Glauco ridicono i lamenti, e su la tomba cantano i pregi dell'amante seno.

English translation Yet heaven gathers you, o Nymph, to its breast. Without you is the earth widowed, the woods are deserted, and tears flow in rivers; and Dryads and Wood Nymphs echo the grieving Glaucus’ lament, and over your tomb sing the praises of his beloved’s heart.
