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 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.
