Or che un istante, o Fille, Tirsi ad udir t'appresti,
dimmi dove apprendesti l'arte d'innamorar.
Cangia l'usato stile cessi una volta o Cara
questa vicenda amara di eterno dubitar.

Perche alternar vuoi sempre grazie, rigore, e vezzi,
se m'ami o mi disprezzi, come saprò così.
Se all' imbrunir del giorno tenera oh Dio m'accogli
la speme a me si togli, quando ritorna il dì.

Ah se cosi to credi d'aver più amico amore,
te il dice il tuo pastore no, fille non è ver.
Sempre in calle incerto il Pssaggier si vede,
si stanca e volge il piede ad un novel sentier.

    Set to music by Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760 - 1812), "Or che un istante, o Fille, Tirsi ad udir t'appresti", 1804, from 6 Canzonets, no. 1
