Da voi, cari lumi, Dipende il mio stato: Voi siete i miei Numi: Voi siete il mio fato: A vostro talento Mi sento cangiar. Ardir m'inspirate, Se lieti splendete; Se torbidi siete, Mi fate tremar.

Je blik, lieve ogen, Bepaalt heel mijn leven, Door jullie bewogen Word ik voortgedreven. Zoals jullie wensen Gedraagt zich mijn wil. Ik blaak van vertrouwen Als ‘k jullie zie stralen, Zie ‘k somberheid dalen, Maakt angst mij ook stil.
