Vezzosi augelli infra le verdi fronde
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vezzosi augelli infra le verdi fronde
Temprano a prova lascivette note
Mormora l'aura, e fa le foglie e l'onde
Garrir, che variamente ella percote
Quando taccion gli augelli, alto risponde;
Quando cantan gli augei, più lieve scote.
Sia caso o d'arte, or accompagna, ed ora
Alterna i versi lor la musica ora.

D'agréables oiseaux, sous ces ombrages...
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
D'agréables oiseaux, sous ces ombrages verts,
Gazouillent à l'envi leurs folâtres concerts ;
L'air murmure ; il agite et l'onde et le feuillage ;
Par des effets divers il marque son passage.
Si le chant des oiseaux cesse, alors il gémit ;
S'ils chantent, il se tait, ou du moins s'affaiblit ;
Soit hasard, soit dessein, leur tendre mélodie
De sons aériens est coupée ou suivie.
