Lukas Ihr Schönen aus der Stadt, kommt her! Blickt an die Töchter der Natur, die weder Putz, noch Schminke ziert! Da seht mein Hannchen, seht! Ihr blüht Gesundheit auf den Wangen; im Auge lacht Zufriedenheit, und aus dem Munde spricht das Herz, wenn sie mir Liebe schwört. Hanne Ihr Herrchen süß und fein, bleibt weg! Hier schwinden eure Künste ganz, und glatte Worte wirken nicht; man gibt euch kein Gehör. Nicht Gold, nicht Pracht kann uns verblenden. Ein redlich Herz ist, was uns rührt; und meine Wünsche sind erfüllt, wenn treu mir Lukas ist. Lukas Blätter fallen ab, Früchte welken hin, Tag und Jahr vergeh'n, nur meine Liebe nicht. Hanne Schöner grünt das Blatt, süßer schmeckt die Frucht, heller glänzt der Tag, wenn deine Liebe spricht. Beide Welch ein Glück ist treue Liebe! Uns're Herzen sind vereinet; trennen kann sie Tod allein. Lukas Liebstes Hannchen! Hanne Bester Lukas! Beide Lieben, und geliebet werden ist der Freuden höchster Gipfel, ist des Lebens Wonn' und Glück.

Luca Venite qui, bellezze cittadine! A contemplare le figlie della natura, senza ornamenti o trucco! Guardate qui la mia Vannuccia, guardate! Sul suo volto fiorisce la salute; nei suoi occhi ride contentezza, con la sua bocca parla il suo cuore, quando mi giura amore. Vanna Signorini sdolcinati e raffinati, state lontani! Qui le vostre arti svaniscono, non hanno potere le parole forbite; nessuna vi ascolta. Né oro né ricchezze sono capaci di abbagliarci. Un cuore sincero, quello sì che ci tocca; e ogni mio desiderio è esaudito se il mio Luca mi resta fedele. Luca Cadono le foglie, appassiscono i frutti, giorni e stagioni passano, solo il mio amore resta. Vanna Più bella rinverdisce la foglia, più dolce sapore hanno i frutti, più luminoso splende il giorno, se mi parla il tuo amore. Entrambi Felicità è un amore fedele! I nostri cuori rimangono uniti; solo la morte li può separare. Luca Vannuccia amatissima! Vanna Carissimo Luca! Entrambi Amare ed essere amati, questa è la gioia più alta felicità e delizia di una intera vita!
