Die Munterkeit ist meinen Wangen, Den Augen Glut und Sprach entgangen; Der Mund will kaum ein Lächeln wagen; Kaum will der welke Leib sich tragen, Der Bluhmen am Mittage gleicht, Wann Flora lechzt und Zephyr weicht. Doch merk ich, wann sich Chloe zeiget, Daß mein entflammter Blick nicht schweiget, Und Suada nach den Lippen flieget; Ein glühend Roth im Antlitz sieget, Und alles sich an mir verjüngt, Wie Bluhmen, die der Thau durchdringt. Ich seh auf sie mit bangem Sehnen, Und kann den Blick nicht weggewöhnen: Die Anmuth, die im Auge wachet Und um die jungen Wangen lachet, Zieht meinen weggewichnen Blick Mit güldnen Banden stets zurück. Mein Blut strömt mit geschwindern Güssen; Ich brenn, ich zittre, sie zu küssen; Ich suche sie mit wilden Blicken, Und Ungeduld will mich ersticken, Indem ich immer sehnsuchtsvoll Sie sehn und nicht umarmen soll.

E' svanita l'allegria dal mio viso, e i miei occhi non hanno più ardore; sulla bocca è raro il sorriso; Il mio corpo si trascina a stento, debole come, al meriggio, un fiore, quando Flora langue e Zefiro muore. Io la osservo con desiderio e ansia, e non riesco a guardare altrove, La grazia che nei suoi occhi si desta e ride sul suo giovane viso continua ad attirare il mio sguardo che in ceppi dorati è ormai preso. Più rapido corre il mio sangue; per un suo bacio io tremo e ardo; la cerco con disperato sguardo, per l'impazienza mi sento soffocare, perché con desiderio la guardo ma non la posso abbracciare.
