Come può non come suol quell'altero chiede pace pace vuol Grida il fiero ad Amor e non à te curvo il collo e bacio il piè Replicò Fillide allor servime che servi amor tù non conosci ò stolto che Vicario d'Amor fatto è il mio volto come può non come suol quell'altero chiede pace pace vuol. Privileggio ha beltà guerra e pace bella donna e rompe e fà ecco tace Quell'ardente e che può dir? se non fingere e soffrir? quell'altier che la sprezzò fintamente l'inchinò si vede ben ch'allora quel che bestemmia il cor la lingua adora Privileggio ha beltà guerra e pace bella donna e rompe e fà.

Comme il le peut, pas comme d'habitude, cet homme fier demande la paix, il veut la paix. L'orgueilleux crie : devant l'amour et non devant toi je courbe la tête et je baise le pied. Alors Phyllis répond qu'il la sert car elle sert Amour. Tu ne sais pas, sot que tu es, que mon visage est le représentant d'Amour. Comme il le peut, pas comme d'habitude, cet homme fier demande la paix, il veut la paix. La beauté a un privilège : la guerre et la paix par une belle dame peuvent commencer ou finir. Voilà qu'il se tait, Que pourrait-il dire de passionné sans feindre ou souffrir ? Cet orgueilleux se tait, secrètement il s'incline, on voit bien que maintenant ce que le cœur maudit la langue adore. La beauté a un privilège : la guerre et la paix par une belle dame peuvent commencer ou finir.
