Original text and translations

Italian text Doloroso martire, Amarilli crudel mi fa languire. Ah, come al mio dolore non te si spetra il core languisco e moro. Ahi cruda d’amor nemica e di pietate ignuda, Deh come a l’empia morte al mio dolor non mi si cangia forte.

Dutch translation Wrede Amaryllis, je verteert mij, trieste martelaar. Ah, zoals je bij mijn pijn mijn hart niet vat, kwijn ik weg en sterf. O, vijandig in liefde en van medelijden ontbloot, Bah, zo’n vreselijke slechtheid verandert mijn pijn niet sterk.

English translation Cruel Amaryllis, you consume me, sad martyr. Ah, like you at my pain does not catch my heart, I languish and die. O hostile in love and devoid of pity, Bah, such a terrible wickedness does not change my pain greatly.
