Ancide sol la morte E tu, mio core, che la vita sei, Uccider non mi puoi Col dolce colpo De’ begli occhi tuoi. Io, morendo per te, lieto morrei Se ferita mortale Uscir potesse Da beltà vitale.

Seule la mort tue, Et toi, mon cœur, qui es la vie, tu ne peux me tuer D'un doux coup De tes beaux yeux. Moi, mourant pour toi, je mourrais heureux Si la blessure mortelle Pouvait venir De ta beauté vivante.
