V’adoro, pupille	I adore you, dear eyes
Saette d’ Amore,	Lightning bolts of Love
Le vostre faville	Your sparks
Son grate nel Sen.	Are welcome in my bosom.
Pietose vi brama	Take pity, begs
Il mesto mio Core,	My woeful heart,
Che ogn’ora vi chiama	Which every hour calls you
L’ Amato suo ben.	Its well Beloved.
