A Dio Florida bella, il cor piagato nel mio partir ti lascio e porto meco la memoria di te si come seco cervo trafitto suol lo strale alato. Caro mio Floro a Dio, l'amaro stato consoli amor del nostro viver cieco Che s'el tuo cor mi resta il mio vien teco Com'augellin che vola al cibo amato. Così sul Tebro a lo spuntar del sole Quinci e quindi confuso un suon s'udia Di sospiri, di baci e di parole. Ben mio rimanti in pace, e tu ben mio vattene in pace e sia quel ch'el ciel vole A Dio Floro dicea Florida, a Dio.

Adieu, belle Floride, mon cœur blessé, je te le laisse en partant et j'emporte avec moi le souvenir de toi, comme avec lui le cerf transpercé porte la flèche ailée. Mon cher Florus, adieu, que de cet état amer de nos vies aveugles l'amour nous console. Si ton cœur reste avec moi, le mien va avec toi, Comme le petit oiseau qui vole vers la nourriture aimée. Ainsi sur le Tibre au lever du soleil, par ci par là s'entendait un son confus de soupirs, de baisers et de paroles. Mon cher, reste en paix, et toi mon amour, va en paix et qu'il en soit comme le ciel le veut. Adieu, Florus, disait Floride, adieu.
