Pensaci ben mio core. D'amore al foco, Anco per gioco, Farfalletta non t'accostar. Guarda il fin del tuo girar, Che non sia d'incenerire Quando credi di gioire. Fuggi di due begl'occhi anco l'ardore; Pensaci ben mio core. Fermati pur, mio core. Se nel periglio Brami consiglio, Pelicano non ti mostrar. Lascia Lilla di mirar, Se non vuoi con dura sorte Nel gioir trovar la morte. Sotto l'arco d'un ciglio è ascoso Amore; Pensaci ben mio core.

Pense bien mon cœur. Du feu de l'amour, Même par jeu, Comme un papillon ne t'approche pas. Prends garde dans ton mouvement De ne pas te brûler Quand tu crois te réjouir. Fuis l'ardeur des deux beaux yeux ; Pense bien mon cœur. Arrête, mon cœur. Si dans le danger Tu désires un conseil, N'imite pas le pélican. Arrête de regarder Lilla, Si tu ne veux pas dans un sort sévère Trouver la mort dans ton plaisir. L'amour est caché sous l'arc d'un sourcil ; Pense bien mon cœur.
