Translation:
Go, Orfeo, happy at last,
To enjoy celestial honor
Where good never lessens,
Where there was never grief,
While altars, incenses and prayers
We offer to you, happy and devoted.
So goes one who does not retreat
At the call of the eternal light,
So he obtains grace in heaven
Who down here has braved Hell
And he who sows in sorrow
Reaps the fruit of all grace.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
CORO di NINFE e PASTORIVanne Orfeo, felice a pieno,
A goder celeste onore
Là 've hen non mai vien meno,
Là 've mai non fu dolore,
Mentr'altari, incensi e voti
Noi t'offriam lieti e devoti.
Così va chi non s'arretra
Al chiamar di nume eterno,
Così grazia in Ciel impetra
Chi qua giù provo l'Inferno;
E chi semina fra doglie
D'ogni grazia il frutto coglie.
Moresca
English Libretto or Translation:
CHORUS of NYMPHS & SHEPHERDSOrpheus' cup of joy is filled,
he is ris'n to realms supernal,
there are pain and sorrow stilled,
there is peace and bliss eternal.
Joyous hearts and altars smoking
offer we, thy grace invoking.
Thus to all of us is given
who obey the Lord Eternal,
he shall taste the joys of Heaven,
who on earth has brav'd th'infernal.
He who sows his seed in sorrow
fruits of grace hall reap tomorrow.
