Canta la cicaletta
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quand'è 'l Sol più cocente,
E si more cantando e non lo sente.
Io canto, e vivo,
e pur sento nel core
Di lei caldo maggiore.
Così vuole il mio fato,
S'io morissi cantando, 
O me beato.
Muove Orfeo l'empia Dite;
Piange, prega e sospira
Et impetra pietate al suon di lira:
Io piango e prego una crudele e bella,
D'amor troppo rubella.
Così vuole il mio fato,
S'io morissi cantando,
O me beato.
