Rugiadose Odorose Violette graziose, Voi vi state Vergognose, Mezzo ascose Fra le foglie, E sgridate Le mie voglie, Che son troppo ambiziose.

Humides de rosée, Odorantes, Violettes gracieuses, Vous vous tenez Timidement, À moitié cachées Dans les feuilles. Et vous riez De mes désirs, Qui sont trop ambitieux.
