La pastorella mia, amorosetta e pia, mi disse: eccoti il core in premio del tuo amore. Allor io corsi ad abbracciarla e lei lontan se ne fuggì da gli occhi miei. |
My shepherdess, lovely and devout, said to me: here is my heart in reward for your love. Then I ran to embrace her and she fled away, far from my sight. |
