Ah con quanto tuo dolore<br />

sola speme del mio core<br />

questo capo e questi crini<br />

passeran acuti spini.<br />

Ah ch’in questo divin petto<br />

amor mio dolce e diletto<br />

vi farà piaga mortale<br />

empia lancia e disleale.<br />

Dormi dunque figlio mio,<br />

dormi pur Redentor mio,<br />

perchè poi con lieto viso<br />

si vedrem in Paradiso.<br />

Hor che dormi la mia vita<br />

del mio cor gioia compita<br />

tacia ogn’un con puro zelo<br />

tacian sin la terra e’l Cielo.<br />

E fra tanto io che farò?<br />

Il mio ben contemplerò<br />

ne starò col capo chino<br />

sin che dorme il mio Bambino.<br />

5 Pianto di Erinna<br />

La bella Erinna, su le sponde amene<br />

d’un liquefatto argento,<br />

così mesta piangea la dipartita<br />

de la cara sua vita:<br />

ove ne vai cor mio,<br />

lascia che venga anch’io,<br />

ferma, deh per pietà, scoltami o Dio;<br />

32<br />

Ah, in how much pain,<br />

sole hope of my heart,<br />

will this head and this hair<br />

be torn by sharp thorns.<br />

Ah, in this divine breast,<br />

my dear and sweet love,<br />

will be wounded mortally,<br />

by a treacherous and cruel spear.<br />

Sleep, then, my son,<br />

sleep, my Saviour;<br />

for later with jubilant face<br />

we will see each other in Paradise.<br />

Now you sleep, o my life,<br />

utter joy of my heart,<br />

let all be quiet in complete zealousness,<br />

even on earth and in Heaven.<br />

And meanwhile, what shall I do?<br />

I will watch my love,<br />

my head bowing towards him,<br />

as long as my baby sleeps.<br />

Pianto di Erinna<br />

The lovely Erinna, on the pleasant banks<br />

of a silver-streaked stream,<br />

sadly shed tears thus<br />

for her loved one’s departure:<br />

where are you going my love,<br />

let me go with you.<br />

Stay, for pity, hear my cry, O God.
