Al dolce canto
   Del dio d'amore
   Il nostro core
   Serenerà.

A tal concento
   Sento che l'alma
   Trova la calma,
   La pace al core.

Sento che dolce incanto
   Del dio d'amore
   Dolce soave al core
   La calma consolar.

Cetra del dio di Delo
   Nel rilucente ardore
   La fiamma del mio core,
   Deh vieni consolar.

Palpitar mi sento al core,
   Deh perche sì palpitar?
   Dalla speme e dall'amore
   Sento l'alma consolar.
