Che dolce udire una leggiadra Bocca tutta lieta cantar versi d'amore Vaga vezzosa voce con passaggio veloce t'alletta ti circonda anzi tocca e dentro và quasi à baciarti il core che dolce udire una leggiadra Bocca tutta lieta cantar versi d'amore mentre musico labro spiega d'Amore i pregi Altro non dice quel canoro felice che le gioie che senti che i diletti che proui che i tuoi piaceri nuovi i tuoi vecchi contenti Dillo ò mio core che dolce udir una leggiadra Bocca tutta lieta cantar Versi d'Amore Quell'aura armonizzata Da una Gorga canora ti ravviva e ristora ti fà l'Alma beata folle sei se non godi e non cominci qua giù ristretto in un caduco velo Tirsi à gustar le melodie del Cielo

Qu'il est doux d'écouter une bouche délicieuse chanter joyeusement des vers d'amour. Une voix douce, charmante, avec des passages rapides te séduit, t'entoure et te touche et plonge en toi pour presque baiser ton cœur, pendant que la lèvre musicale montre les récompenses de l'amour. Il ne dit pas autre chose, ce chanteur heureux, que les joies que tu ressens Il ne dit pas autre chose que tes nouveaux plaisirs, tes anciens ravissements. Dis-le, ô mon cœur, comme il est doux d'écouter une bouche délicieuse chanter joyeusement des vers d'amour. Cet air harmonisé Par un gorge qui chante te ravive et te rafraîchit, fait que ton âme est bénie. Tu es fou si tu ne te réjouis pas, ne commences pas, entravé ici dans un voile mortel, Tirsis, à goûter les mélodies du ciel.
