Italian text

Fummo felici un tempo,
Io amante, et amato,
Tu amata, et amante in lieto stato.
Tu d'amante nemica
Poi divenisti, et io
Volsi in disdegno il giovenil desio.

Sdegno vuol ch'io te'l dica,
Sdegno, che nel mio petto
Tien viva l'onta del mio don negletto.
E le fronde ne svelle
Del vostro lauro, hor secche, e già si belle.
