Negar te que he querido, Laura, a Nise fuere error; Mas piensar tu que este amor Es como el que yo te he tenido, Mayor error, Laura ha sido. Pues, si a Nise un tiempo ame, No fue amor, ensayo fue De amar tu luz singular; Que para saber te amar, O Laura, en Nise estudie.

Laure, pardonnez-moi l'erreur Qui me fit porter d'autres chaînes ; Je devais connaître les peines Pour mieux sentir tout mon bonheur. Mes yeux s'étaient laissé charmer : Mais mon cœur attendait le vôtre ; Je n'ai soupiré pour un autre. Qu'afin d'apprendre à vous aimer.
