La costanza
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Per un sol de' tuoi sospiri un tuo solo palpitare mille volte i miei martiri mi fia dolce a comunciar. Più desira il cor costante di penar serbando fè che ottener da un altra amante dolce aita di mercè. Io giurai prl tuo bel nome, per le chiome e pel tuo viso, per l'angelico tuo riso, ti giurai eter no amor. Il mio giuro, o cara Elisa, come l'aura ch'io respiro, sino all' ultimo sospiro darà vita a questo cor.

Die Beständigkeit
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Wird dein Herz nur einmal beben, um mich zitternd sich erheben, will ich gern aufs Neu' durchleben meine Qualen tausendmal. Lieber wünscht sich Gramesstöhnen mein beständig treuer Sinn, als von einer ander'n Schönen neuer Liebe Hochgewinn. Sieh', ich schwur bei deinem Namen, deinem Engelangesichte, deiner Augen mildem Lichte, meine Lieb' wird ewig sein. Dieser Schwur wird, o Elisa, fern von jedem Schein und Truge bis zum letzten Atemzuge Leben, Stärke mir verleih'n.
