In lectulo meo, [per]1 noctes, quæsivi quem diligit anima mea; quæsivi illum, et non inveni. Adjuro vos, filiae Jerusalem, si inveneritis dilectum meum, ut nuntietis ei quia amore langueo.

2. Oscuro è il ciel [sung text checked 1 time]
Oscuro è il ciel; Nell'onde la luna già s'asconde E in seno al mar le Plejadi Già discendendo van. È mezzanotte, E l'ora passa frattanto, E sola qui sulle piume Ancora veglio ed attendo in van.
