Occhi ridenti io moro
In mezz'un bosco di saette d'oro
R.: E in van lagrima il core
Ch'al mondo non è fede u' regna Amore.

In ogni stral si vede
L'in grato vostro riso, e l'altrui cede,
R.

Ma la mortal serita
Partendo fù da voi dolce mia vita,
R.

Cosi restò diviso
Il dolce laccio ordito in paradiso,
R.
