The white and sweet swan dies singing, and I, weeping, reach the end of my life. Stran' e diversa sorte, ch'ei more sconsolato ed io moro beato. Strange and different fate, that he dies disconsolate and I die a blessed death, Morte che nel morire m'empie di gioia tutto e di desire. Se nel morir, altro dolor non sento, di mille mort' il di sarei contento. which in dying fills me full of joy and desire. If in dying, were I to feel no other pain, I would be content to die a thousand deaths a day. Videos taken along the Black Brook in Loughborough  less
