Original text and translations

Italian text Al lume delle stelle Tirsi sotto un alloro Si dolea lagrimando in questi accenti: O celesti facelle Di lei ch'amo ed adoro Rassomigliate voi gli occhi lucenti. Luci serene e liete, Sento la fiamma lor mentre splendete.

English translation By the light of the stars Tirsi, beneath a laurel, lamented tearfully in these ways: O celestial torches, you look like the shining eyes of her whom I love and adore. Lights, serene and joyful, I feel their flame even as you shine. Translation by Allen Garvin
