Fuggite, amanti Amor
 (Sung text for setting by O. Neuwirth)
 See original
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
  Fuggite, amanti, Amor, fuggite ’l foco;
l’incendio è aspro e la piaga è mortale,
c’oltr’a l’impeto primo più non vale
né forza né ragion né mutar loco.
  Fuggite, or che l’esemplo non è poco
d’un fiero braccio e d’un acuto strale;
leggete in me, qual sarà ’l vostro male,
qual sarà l’impio e dispietato gioco.
 ...
