RV 644 II, 11: The sufferings of your mind.

OLOFERNES
The sufferings of your mind flee from the heart,
and, holding the chalice, long live the glory of Judith,
and, extinguished the torch of war,
love lasts thanks to you serene.
 

I come to you adored lights

I come to you, adored lights
To give respite from so many woes,
And come back to adore you.
Despite you being so ungrateful,
I won’t stop loving you.
I come to you, adored lights...
 
Bringing in my chest the ardour
That you lit in my one day,
A loyal idolater, I come back to you.
But, if you were merciful,
You do not give respite to my huge fire,
Give me at least death:
Because it is too intolerable to be a martyr
To live in the fire and not be able to die.
 
Without suffering
Without hope
It’s a great torment,
Tyrant eyes.
It’s worth hoping
From the relentlessness
Just one moment
Between so many troubles.
Always suffering

RV 630, 2. By tempting look. 3. The serpent hisses.

2. Recitative.
By tempting look this world deceives the eye,
but pierces hearts by hidden wounds.
Let us flee him who smiles, shun him who follows us,
for by skilfully displaying its pleasures, this world
overwhelms us by deceit.

The serpent hisses
among blossoms and colours,
uncoils itself and conceals the gall,
But after a furtive kiss,
a man maddened by love
often licks it like honey.

they have laboured in vain who build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city,
The watchmen waketh but in vain.
