Entra!
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Entra, e su questo seno angiol d'amore,
Posa il capo celeste,
Allo splendor della immortal tua veste
Ti conobbe il mio core.
Entra, e alla luce de' benigni rai
Sanami il cor che geme,
Entra, e di gioie non provate mai
Esulteremo insieme!

Labbra mortali al tuo sereno viso
S'appresseranno audaci,
E un senso proverai di caldi baci,
ignoto al paradiso.
Entra, e alla luce de' benigni rai
Sanami il cor che geme,
Entra, e di gioie non provate mai
Esulteremo insieme!
