Italian text
- Delizie contente, che l’alma beate fermate.
- Su questo mio core deh più,
- deh più non stillate le gioie d’amore.
- Delizie mie care, fermatevi qui:
- non so più bramare, mi basta così.
- In grembo agli amori fra dolci catene morir,
- morir mi conviene, dolcezza omicida a morte,
- a morte mi guida, mi guida in braccio al mio bene.
