S'un casto amor, s'una pietà superna, S'una fortuna infra dua amanti equale, S'un'aspra sorte all'un dell'altro cale, S'un spirto, s'un voler duo cor governa; S'un'anima in duo corpi è fatta etterna, Ambo levando al cielo e con pari ale; S'amor c'un colpo e d'un dorato strale Le viscer di duo petti arda e discerna; S'amar l'un l'altro, e nessun se medesmo, D'un gusto e d'un diletto, a tal mercede, C'a un fin voglia l'uno e l'altro porre; Se mille e mille non sarien centesmo A tal nodo d'amore, a tanta fede; E sol l'isdegno il può rompere e sciorre.

Jei gailestis dangaus ir meilė nekaltoji, Jei porai mylinčiai toks pats likimas skirtas, Jei vieno žiaurią lemtį kitas jaučia, Jeigu dvasia viena dvi širdis valdo; Jei siela kūnuose dviejuos patampa amžina, Pakeldama abu dangun savais sparnais; Jei meilė auksine strėle vienu smūgiu Uždegt, nuskaidrinti širdis krūtinėj gali; Jei vienas myli kitą už save labiau, Džiaugsmu ir malonumais viens kitam atsidėkoja Ir pabaigos gyvenimo abu vienodos siekia; Net tūkstančiai nėra verti dalies šimtosios Stipriausio meilės ryšio ir tokios ištikimybės; Tad argi gali pyktis tai nutraukt ir sunaikinti?
