Altri canti d'Amor, tenero arciero, I dolci vezzi, e i sospirati baci; Narri gli sdegni e le bramate paci Quand'unisce due alme un sol pensiero. Di Marte io canto, furibondo e fiero, I duri incontri, e le battaglie audaci; Strider le spade, e bombeggiar le faci, Fo nel mio canto bellicoso e fiero. Tu cui tessuta han di cesareo alloro La corona immortal Marte e Bellona, Gradisci il verde ancor novo lavoro, Che mentre guerre canta e guerre sona, Oh gran Fernando, l'orgoglioso choro, Del tuo sommo valor canta e ragiona.

Иные поют об Амуре — нежном лучнике, О сладких чарах и желанных поцелуях, Подробно рассказывают о ссорах и долгожданных воссоединениях, Когда две души объединяются одним помыслом. Я же пою о Марсе яростном и жестоком, О грубых столкновениях и смелых сражениях. Мечи лязгают, и вспышки орудий отдаются эхом — Я же создаю это в моей воинственной и яростной песне. Вы, для кого бессмертный венец царственного лавра Был сплетён Марсом и Беллоной, Примите это новое сочинение, Ведь пока война поёт и играет, О великий Фердинанд, — этот гордый хор Будет петь, утверждая Вашу несравненную доблесть.
