Eco de'miei lamenti,
Cetra fedel, che tenti?
Spiegare il mio dolore
Non può lo stesso amore.

Flebil tu cedi invano
All'ingegnosa mano,
Querele imiti e pianti
Con le corde tremanti.

Rispondi a'miei sospiri
Con replicati giri;
Ma quei, che rende il suono
I miei sospir non sono.

Fille l'amato bene
Lungi è da queste arene;
Spiegare il mio dolore
Non puó lo stesso Amore.
