Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sprezza il furor del vento
robusta quercia, avvezza,
di cento verni e cento
l'ingiurie a tollerar.

E se pur cade al suolo,
spiega per l'onde il volo,
e con quel vento istesso
va contrastando in mar.

Dall labbro che t'accende
 (Sung text for setting by J. Bach)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dal labbro, che t'accende
di così dolce ardor,
la sorte tua dipende,
(e la mia sorte ancor).

Mi spiace il tuo tormento;
ne sono a parte, e sento
che del tuo cor la pena
è pena del mio cor.
