Original text and translations
English text
Recit:
- I rage, I rage, I melt, I burn!
- The feeble god has stabbed me to the heart.
- Thou trusty pine, prop of my god-like steps,
- I lay thee by!
- Bring me a hundred reeds of decent growth,
- to make a pipe for my capacious mouth;
- in soft enchanting accents
- let me breathe sweet Galatea’s beauty, and my love.
Aria:
- O ruddier than the cherry,
- O sweeter than the berry,
- O nymph more bright than moonshine night,
- Like kidlings blithe and merry!
- Ripe as the melting cluster,
- No lily has such lustre;
- Yet hard to tame as raging flame,
- And fierce as storms that bluster!
