Presso un fiume tranquillo
Language: Italian (Italiano)

     Presso un fiume tranquillo
disse a Filena Eurillo:
-- Quante son queste arene,
tante son le mie pene;
e quante son quell'onde,
tante ho per te nel cor piaghe profonde. --

     Rispose, d'amor piena,
ad Eurillo Filena:
-- Quante la terra ha foglie,
tante son le mie doglie;
e quante il cielo ha stelle,
tante ho per te nel cor vive fiammelle.

     -- Dunque -- con lieto core
soggiunse indi il pastore, --
quanti ha l'aria augelletti
sieno i nostri diletti,
e quante hai tu bellezze
tante in noi versi Amor care dolcezze.

     -- Sí, sí -- con voglie accese
la ninfa allor riprese; --
facciam, concordi amanti,
pari le gioie ai pianti,
a le guerre le paci:
se fûr mille i martír, sien mille i baci.
