Italian text

Leggiadre ninfe e pargolett’amori
Che tra i colli di marte v’ascondete
A l’allegrezza mia liete corrette
Spargendo ros’et odorati fiori
Candidi cigni e voi saggi pastori
Al suon’al canto gl’anim’accendete
A vener’et amor meco rendete
Di cossi belle grati’etern’honori.

Il dolc’e desiato frutt’ho colto
Ho pur quel vago sol tenut’in braccio
Ch’al maggior caldo fa fiorir le rose
Cantand’in gaudio dove io son sepolto
E l’allegrezze ch’io nel pett’ascose
Ch’io da me stesso god’amando e taccio.
