Original text and translations

Italian text Stillò l'anima in pianto Tirsi, quando partire dovea da Clori e ne volea morire; Ma la ninfa pietosa, con la bocca amorosa quell' umor colse e poi lo ridiede al pastor coi baci suoi. Onde per gli occhi uscita, rientro per le labbra in lui la vita.

English translation The soul of Tirsi dripped away in tears, when he had to depart from Clori, and for this he wished to die; But the merciful nymph with her amorous mouth gathered that that liquor and then restored it to the shepherd with her kisses. Thus, by his eyes having left, life re-entered him by his lips.
