Leggiarde Ninfe se belle siete 
perche volete sprezzar Amor?
E tu mia Fille, perchè t'involi 
che non consoli il tuo Pastor?
Perchè la fresca d'amor etade 
e la beltade perdi così?
S'oggi d'un bene goder possiamo, 
perchè asspettiamo un altro dì?

Composition:

    Set to music by Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760 - 1812), "Leggiarde Ninfe se belle siete perche volete sprezzar Amor?", 1804, from 6 Canzonets, no. 4
