Presso un fiume tranquillo

Presso un fiume tranquillo
Disse a Filena Eurillo :
"Quante son queste arene,
Tante son le mie pene !
E quante son quelle onde,
Tante ho per te nel cor piaghe profonde !"

Rispose, d'amor piena,
Ad Eurillo Filena :
"Quante la terro ha foglie
Tante son le mie doglie !
E quante il cielo ha stelle,
Tante ho per te nel cor vive fiammelle !"

Dunque con lieto core
Soggionse indi il pastore :
"Quanti ha l'aria augelletti
Siano i nostri diletti,
E quant'hai tu bellezze,
Tante in noi versi Amor care dolcezze !"

"Si, si",  con voglie accese
L'un e l'altro riprese,
"Facciam, concordi amanti,
Pari le gioie ai pianti,
A le guerre le paci :
Se fur mille i martiri sian mille i baci!"
