by Ottavio Rinuccini (1562 - 1621)

Aria Quinta: Fillide mia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Fillide mia, se di beltà sei vaga,
D'ogn'altra cura omai disgombr'il core,
Ardi d'amore!

Ardi d'amore nell'amorose fiamme;
Risplende di beltà l'altro tesoro
Qual gemma in oro.

Ardi d'amore; Amor, pittore accorto,
Sa far le guancie di color d'aurora
E'l crine indora.

Ma tu, d'amore ogni favilla spenta,
Al campo, al gregge sol pensi ed affanni
Nel fior degli anni.

Nel fior degli anni, alle canute cure
Rivolto i bei desir, negletto e incolto;
Lassi il bel volto.

Torna, deh, torna alle dolcezze prime;
Non ti sovien, cor mio, de' lieti giorni?
Perche non torni?

Credi, cor mio, per troppo senno è folle,
Chi pensando à diman passa dolente
Il dì presente.

Ogni pensiero, ogni disegno atterra,
Sovra'l goduto ben sol non può morte,
O fato, o sorte.

Filli, che pensi, ahi, come strale o vento
Si dileguano i giorni e fuggon l'ore:
Ardi d'amore.
