Fugga, fugg'Amor, chi desia
Segua, segu'Amor, chi desia
Che felice nel sen l'anima sia.
Sono i premi d'Amore
Dopo lungo servir pena e dolore.
Dopo lungo servir fede et amore.

Non seguite / Non fuggite suoi strali!
Fanno l'armi d'Amor piaghe mortali. 
Fanno l'armi d'Amor piaghe / vitali.

Note: for each slash, one singer sings the words before it and the other answers with the words after it.
