M'è piú dolce il penar per Amarilli, che il gioir di mill'altre; e se gioir di lei mi vieta il mio destino, oggi si moia per me pure ogni gioia. Viver io fortunato per altra donna mai, per altro amore? né, volendo, il potrei né, potendo, il vorrei. E, s'esser può che 'n alcun tempo mai ciò voglia il mio volere o possa il mio potere, prego il cielo ed Amor che tolto pria ogni voler, ogni poter mi sia.

Il m'est plus doux de souffrir pour Amaryllis que d'avoir du plaisir avec mille autres ; si le destin me l'interdit, qu'aujourd'hui meure pour moi aussi alors toute joie. Comment vivre heureux pour une autre femme, pour un autre amour ? Non,si je le voulais, je ne le pourrais pas, non, si je le pouvais, je ne le voudrais pas. Et si jamais un temps arrive que mon vouloir le veuille ou mon pouvoir le puisse, je prie le ciel et l'amour que soient retirés avant tout désir et tout vouloir loin de moi.
