Cant. Italian.

GIOVANI amanti voi chi Sapete, L'Arte secreti d'un crudo Amor; In Cortesia scoltato un puoro, L'Ardente fuoco chi marde il Cor. Egia tre mesì ch' una sitella, Le giadra Bella ch'ogni lo sa; Quel sua bel chilio cosci Gallante, Mi feci amanti di sua bella.

In English.

YE Beaus of Pleasure,
Whose Wit at Leasure,
Can Count Loves Treasure,
  It's Joy and Smart;
At my desire,
With me retire,
To know what fire,
  Consumes my Heart:
At my desire,
With me retire,
To know what fire,
  Consumes my Heart.

Three Moons that hasted,
Are hardly wasted,
Since I was blasted,
  With Beauty's Ray:
Aurora shows ye,
No Face so Rosie,
No July's Posie,
So fresh and gay,
  Aurora, &c.
