Original text and translations

Italian text Lascia Filli, mia cara spoglia quel tuo rigore E saggia come sei, vesti d’Amore: Guarda non imitare le serpe Colombi impara amare Da loro i modi impara Come bacian gli amanti Con iterati amplessi e vezzi tanti Che se t’ho’n braccio un giorno Vuò ch’à mille colombi facciam scorno.

English text Leave off, Phyllis, my dear, shed your harshness and find out how you are when clothed in love See that you don't imitate the snakes Learn from the doves how to love From them learn the ways How lovers kiss With hug after hug and so many caresses That, if I have you in my arms one day, I want us to put a thousand doves to shame.
