Ruggiero:
Verdi prati, selve amene,
perderete la beltà.
Vaghi fior, correnti rivi,
la vaghezza, la bellezza
presto in voi si cagerà.
E cangiato il vago oggetto
all orror del primo aspetto
tutto in voi ritornerà.

You green meadows and charming woods,
you will lose your beauty.
Lovely flowers, running streams,
your charm, your beauty
will soon be changed.
You green meadows and charming woods,
you will lose your beauty.
And everything of beauty will be transformed,
and you will all return to the horror
of your former state.
