Se Florindo è fedele io m'innamorerò. Potrà ben l'arco tendere il faretrato arcier, Ch'io mi saprò difendere d'un guardo lusinghier. Preghi, pianti e querele, io non ascolterò. Ma se sarà fedele io m'innamorerò.

Falls Fiorindo treu ist, werde ich mich in ihn verlieben. Er könnte wohl seinen Bogen spannen, der Bogenschütze mit gefülltem Köcher; Ich wüsste mich wohl zu wehren gegen einen schmeichlerischen Blick. Flehen, Tränen und Klagen werde ich nicht erhören, Aber falls er treu ist, Werde ich mich in ihn verlieben.
