Text and translations

Italian text Chi vuol veder Amore E sue reti, saette ed arco e foco, E Venere, le gratie, il riso e il gioco, La dolce bocca e il seno, Di Filli mia sol miri E viva poi, se può, senza sospiri.

German translation Wer Amor sehen will und seine Netze, Pfeile und Bogen und Feuer, und Venus, die Grazien, das Lachen und der Spaß, der möge nur anschauen den süßen Mund und den Busen meiner Phyllis, und dann weiterleben, wenn er kann, ohne Seufzen. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation Who wants to see Amor and his nets, arrows and bow and fire, and Venus, the Graces, laughter and play, shall only look at the sweet mouth and the bosom of my Phyllis, and afterwards live, if he can, without sighing. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
