Original text and translations

Italian text Se chiudete nel core il pargoletto Amore, Perché serpe crudele in sen nudrite? Ah, che voi troppo ardite! Vedete non l'ancida, Se vago di dolcezza ivi s'annida.

English translation If you shut in your heart the little child Love, why nurture a cruel serpent at your breast? Ah, you burn too fiercely! Don't you see: you would kill him, if, in search of succor, he should nest in that place.
