Con che soavità, labbra odorate
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE GER
Con che soavità, labbra adorate,
e vi bacio e v'ascolto;
ma se godo un piacer, l'altro m'è tolto.
Come i vostri diletti
s'ancidono fra lor, se dolcemente
vive per ambe due l'anima mia?
Che soave armonia
fareste, o cari baci, o dolci detti,
se foste unitamente
d'ambe due le dolcezze ambo capaci,
baciando, i detti, e ragionando, i baci.

Mit welcher Sanftheit
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Mit welcher Sanftheit, angebetete Lippen,
küsse ich euch und höre euch zu;
Aber wenn ich ein Vergnügen genieße, wird mir das andere genommen.
Wie sich eure Freuden
Von einander unterscheiden,
Wenn meine Seele sanft für beide lebt?
Was für eine sanfte Harmonie
Würdet ihr schaffen, oh teure Küsse, oh süße Worte,
Wenn ihr gemeinsam
Zu beiden Zärtlichkeiten fähig wäret,
Wobei die Worte küssen und die Küsse sprechen.
