Nudo arciero che sì altero
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nudo arciero che sì altero
Vai giocando e scherzando
Tu che i cori uccidi e struggi
Via lontano omai ten fuggi.

Non tardare di spiegare
Ver le stelle l’ali belle
E tra i dei vivi immortali
Opra l’arco opra gli strali.

Nova arciera oggi impera
Che il tuo foco prende in gioco
E de’ tuoi son più possenti
I suoi strali aspri e pungenti.

Suo valore è maggiore
Nè per prova si ritrova
Chi’il suo foco oggi non senta
Ond’ogn’alma arde e spaventa.

Tra le rose tiene ascose
Spine amare che penare
Fanno ognor l’anime e i cori
Tra le angosce e tra i dolori.
