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.
