Original text and translations

Italian text Dunque, amate reliquie, un mar di pianto Non daran questi lumi al nobil seno D'un freddo sasso? Eco! L'afflitto Glauco Fa rissonar «Corinna»: il mare e 'l Cielo, Dicano i venti ogn'or, dica la terra «Ahi Corinna! Ahi Morte! Ahi tomba!» Cedano al pianto I detti! Amato seno A te dia pace il Cielo, Pace a te, Glauco Prega, honorato tomba E sacra terra.

English translation Therefore, beloved remains, will these eyes not shed a sea of tears over the noble breast of this cold stone? Hark, wretched Glaucus makes ocean and heaven resound with his cry, “Corinna”; may the earth and all the winds utter forth: “Ah, Corinna! Ah, Death! Ah, Grave!" Let words yield to tears, beloved breast; may heaven give you peace; peace to you, Glaucus, you who pray at this honoured grave, this sacred ground.
