Qual dolcezza giamai
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Qual dolcezza giamai
Di canto di sirena
Involò i sensi e l'alma chi l'udiro
Che di quella non sia minor assai
Che con la voce angelica e divina
Desta nei cor la bella Pecorina
A la dolce harmonia si fa serena
L'aria, s'acqueta il mar, taccion' i venti,
Et si rallegra il ciel di giro in giro
I santi angeli intenti
Chinand' in questa part' il vago viso
S'obliand' ogni piacer del paradiso
Et ella in tant' honore
Dice con lieto suon: Qui regn' Amore.
