Rut 1

Tornate indietro, figliuole mie, e andatevene: perocché io son già rotta dalla vecchiezza, e inetta al nodo matrimoniale: e quand'anche potessi concepir questa notte, e partorir de' figliuoli,

Volveos, hijas mías, é idos; que yo ya soy vieja para ser para varón. Y aunque dijese: Esperanza tengo; y esta noche fuese con varón, y aun pariese hijos;

Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,
