Care selve, ombre beate,
vengo in traccia del mio cor!

Lascia ch'io parta solo,
e tu rimanti, oh bella,
leggiadra pastorella,
con sì gentil pastor.

Né haver piacer cotanto
di rimirare in pianto
quel fido e nobil cor.

S'è tuo piacer, ch'io mora,
vado a morir Irene,
vado a piacerti, sì.

Ricordati però,
che morto ancor sarò
fedel al tuo rigor,
che il cor m'incenerì.

Impara, ingrata,
ad esser meno crudele
a chi ti chiede amor.

Ei si mostrò sincero,
se protestò fedele,
e tu l'affliggi ancor!

Come alla tortorella langue
il caro suo appresso,
fia il tuo languir l'istesso,
mio bene intorno a me.

"Pianti, sospiri, addio",
lieto dirai cor mio,
ma ancor soffrir conviene,
che tempo di gioire non è.

Già mi sfida un altra fera più severa,
né so ancor se vincerò.

Dì ad Irene, tiranna,
infedele ria,
crudele d'un mostro peggiore...
Ah, no... Dille, dille piuttosto,
dille ch'un core qual è il mio,
più trovar non potrà.

Dille, barbara, dille...
Ma ché?
No, che basta
alla pura mia fè,
di veder quei begli occhi sereni
con la prima amorosa pietà.

Se nasce un rivoletto
fra duri alpestri sassi
tosto incamina i passi
ove l'invita amore,
e torna al mar. 

Io sola al mio diletto
starmi godrei d'appresso,
e pur non m'è concesso
che raggirarmi altrove,
e sospirar.

Del supremo Tonante
messaggero fedel
qui corro a volo,
d'un bel fato costante
per pubblicar la gloria in questo suolo.
E s'audì, 'l sommo Giove i voti ardenti
delle Britanne genti,
che per l'alto Imeneo
l'una a gara dell'altra al Ciel porgeo.
E decretò quel fulgido motore
che de' sposi graziosi, augusti, generosi
formerebbe un sol cor, celeste amore:
che darian di virtù glorioso esempio:
che saria di lor fama il mondo d'un tempio:
che goderian d'una felice calma:
che dal livor sempre otterian la palma:
e che a pro di ciascun, il Ciel fecondo
daria lor prole ad illustrar il mondo.
