English text
O fly not, O take some pity,
I faint alas, I faint; O stay, stay her,
See how she flies;
O stay and hear my prayer,
with one sweet look
you may of torment ease me,
I am no ti ger fierce tat seeks to spill thee;
no I see, thou dost but this to kill me.
Lo then I die, and all to please thee
