Latin text
Bonum est & suave amare Dominum
Qui nos amavit & nos a nexibus soluit peccati
& lavit sordes nostras sua morte.
IESU, O IESU te sectamur ad te convertimur
Qui solus es amandus & adorandus
In coelo & in terra cum Sancto Spiritu,
Cum Deo Patre.
Italian text
Sonno diletto e caro ch’a la mia donna
in sen mi guidi e scorgi perchè si tost’
ohimè lasso ten vai poi ch’a quest’ occh’è
sì il vegghiar amaro.
Torna, deh torna o dolce sonno
E mai non mi lasciar ch’un tanto ben mi porgi
Tu mi dimostri e sia pur falso o vero
Quel che vegghiando mai veder non spero.
