Original text and translations

Italian text

Cor mio, non mori? E mori!
L'idolo tuo, ch'e tolto a te,
Sia tosto in altrui braccia accolto.
Deh, spezzati mio core!
Lascia con l'aura anco l’ardore;
ch'esser non puo che ti riserbi in vita
senza speme ed aita.
Su, mio cor, mori.
Io mora, io vado;
a Dio, dolcissimo ben mio.
