Original text and translations

Italian text Deh! Prega amor il Fato Ch’io da gli ardenti preghi Che s’egliavvien[sic] ch’ai voti miei si pieghi Farò ghirland’ al tuo bel nom’ amato. Deh digli che mie voglie Faccia contente homai Che s’egli avien che dia fine à miei guai Nel Tempio tuo spargerò fiori e foglie. Dunque ogni acerba noia Scaccia ti prego, amore, Che s’opri la tua forza e’l tuo valore Farà saper che sei nunzio di gioia.

English translation God of love, pray beg Fate to hear the ardent prayers: say that if he does what I ask I shall make garlands to your beloved name. Tell him that he should grant my wishes now and put an end to my woes, I shall scatter flowers and leaves in your temple. Please, God of love, then let him dispel all bitter troubles, let your strength and vigour prevail and I shall let it be known that you are a messenger of joy. ~ Translation by Mick Swithinbank
