Venere: Odi l'aura che dolce sospira; Mentre fugge scutendo le fronde, Se l'intendi, ti parla d'amor. Pallade: Senti l'onda che rauca s'aggira; Mentre geme radendo le sponde, Se l'intendi, si lagna d'amor. (a due): Quell'affetto chi sente nel petto, Sa per prova se nuoce, se giova, Se diletto produce o dolor!

ونره: صدای نسیم را می‌شنوی که گویی به شیرینی آه می‌کشد، هنگامی که شاخ و برگ‌ها را لرزانده و می‌گریزد؟ اگر سخنش را دریابی، با تو از عشق می‌گوید. پالاده: صدای گرفته‌ی موج را می‌شنوی که بی قرار و سرگردان در حرکت است، هنگامی که با خروش و ناله بر ساحل می‌ساید، آن را شسته و پس می‌کشد؟ اگر سخنش را دریابی، از عشق شکوه می‌کند. هر دو: هر که عشق و احساسی چنین را در دل چشیده باشد، به تجربه می‌داند که یا آزار در پی خواهد داشت و یا کام می‌بخشد، (نیش است و یا نوش)، یا شادی و لذت می‌آفریند، یا درد و رنج!
