Original text and translations

Italian text Ahi, chi ti insidia al boscareccio nido, O mia fera gentile? Ahi, chi ti tende, Audace il laccio? Ahi, miser, chi t'attende, Al varco, empio pastor Bifolco infido? Deh! fuggi i paschi avelenati, e'l fido Tuo Lidio mira, che dolente stende, L'amiche braccia per raccorti, e prende, A sdegno il veltro e di chi caccia il grido. Vieni, deh! vieni a me, timida e bella, E non sdegnar chi t'allettò sovente Con l’esca dolce di verace amore. Vieni, speranza mia, se, tenerella, Non t'increbbe star meco; e da gl'horrori De' boschi fuggi, e da rapace genti.

English translation Who sets a trap for you in the woodsy den, my gentle creature? Who boldly lays a snare for you? Ah, poor wretch, who awaits you at the passage—the wicked, faithless shepherd Bifolco? Hush, flee the empoisoned pastures, and behold your faithful Lidio, who, grieving, opens his friendly arms to receive you, and despises the hound and the hunter’s cry. Come, yes!, come to me, timid and comely one, and do not scorn him who often allured you with the sweet bait of true love. Come, my hope, if, tenderly, it would not diplease you to be with me; and flee the horrors of the woods, and greedy people». Translation by Campelli
