CORO di NINFE e PASTORI Ahi caso acerbo, ahi fat'empio e crudele. Ahi stelle ingiuriose, ahi ciel avaro. Non si fidi uom mortale Di ben caduco e frale, Che tosto fugge, e spesso A gran salita il precipizio è presso.
English Libretto or Translation:
CHORUS of NYMPHS & SHEPHERDS Ah, bitter blow! Ah, wicked, cruel Fate! Ah, baleful stars! Ah, avaricious heaven! Let not mortal man trust in fleeting and frail happiness, for soon it flies away, and often the precipice is close to the highest summit.
