Amore e la speranza voglion farmi prigioniero, e a tal segno il mal s'avanza ch'ho scoperto ch'il pensiero dice d'esserne contento. Tradimento! La speranza per legarmi a gran cose mi lusinga, s'io le credo avvien che stringa lacci sol da incatenarmi. Mio core all'armi! S'incontri l'infida si prenda s'uccida su presto! è periglioso ogni momento. Tradimento!

Amour et l'espérance veulent faire de moi un prisonnier, et à un tel degré mon mal est arrivé que j'ai découvert que ma pensée dit qu'elle est heureuse. Trahison ! L'espérance pour me lier m'a tenté avec de grandes choses, Si je la crois, elle serre Plus fort les liens qui m'enchaînent. Mon cœur, aux armes ! Si tu rencontres la perfide, Prends-la et tue-la aussitôt ! Chaque instant est dangereux. Trahison !
