Aria I Alla caccia dell'alme e de'cori la barbara Clori, Amanti, s'en va. Già i lacci dispone, le reti già stende, al varco v'attende quell'empia beltà. Recitativo Ma sia crudele o infida, oh Dio, mi piace. E sebben sia spietato, da quel bel volto, o cor, tu sei legato. Aria II Preso sei, mio cor piagato, non sperar, non sperar più dalla bella servitù di poter spiegar il volo. Consolar bensì tu puoi ché a provare i lacci suoi non sei primo e non sei solo.

Aria I À la chasse des âmes et des cœurs, la barbare Cloris, vous les amoureux, est partie. Déjà les pièges sont disposés, déjà les filets sont déployés, sur le seuil elle vous attend, cette beauté impie. Récitatif Mais qu'elle soit cruelle ou perfide, oh Dieu, elle me plaît. Et même si elle est sans pitié, à ce beau visage, ô cœur, tu es lié. Aria II Il est pris, mon cœur blessé, ne plus espérer, ne plus espérer de cette belle servitude pouvoir prendre son envol. Peux-tu être consolé qu'éprouver ses pièges tu n'es ni le premier ni le seul.
