Original text and translations

Italian text «Io parto» e non più dissi, che il dolore privò di vita il core. Allor proruppe in pianto e disse Clori, con interrotti omèi: «Dunque ai dolori io resto. Ah, non fia mai ch’io non languisca in dolorosi lai.» Morto fui, vivo son, ché i spirti spenti tornaro in vita a sì pietosi accenti.

English translation "I am leaving" I said, and no more, because pain deprived my heart of all life. Then Chloris burst out in tears and said, amid sobbing "alas!": "Thus here I stay in sorrow. Ah! May I never cease languishing in mourning lays." I was dead, but now I live, because my fallen spirit returned to life at such merciful words. Translation by Campelli
