Se tu m'ami, se sospiri Sol per me, gentil Pastor; [Ho]1 dolor de' tuoi martiri, [Ho]1 diletto del [tuo]2 amor. Ma se [pensi]3 che soletto Io ti debba riamar; Pastorello, sei soggetto Facilmente a t'ingannar. Fu già caro un solo Amante, Or quel tempo non è più: Il mio Sesso è men costante, Perchè il vostro ha men virtù. Bella Rosa porporina Oggi [Silvio]4 sceglierà; [Colla]5 scusa della spina Doman poi la sprezzerà. Ma degli Uomini il consiglio Io per me non seguirò; Non perché mi piace il Giglio Gli altri Fiori sprezzerò. Scelgo questo, scelgo quello, Mi diletto d' ogni fior: Questo par di quel più bello, Quel di questo ha meglio odor. Colti tutti, e poi serbati Un bel Serto se ne fa, Che sul crine, [e]1 al Sen portati, [Fan più vaga]6 la beltà.

Se tu me amas, se sospiras Somente por mim, gentil Pastor; Tenho pena de teu martírio, Tenho predileção pelo teu amor: Mas, se pensas que somente a ti Eu deveria amar, Pastorzinho, estás sujeito Facilmente a te enganares. [... ... ... ...] A Bela Rosa vermelha Hoje Sílvio escolherá, Com a desculpa do espinho Amanhã então a desprezará. Mas, dos homens, o conselho Eu, por mim, não seguirei, Não é porque me agrada o Lírio Que as outras flores desprezarei. [... ... ... ...] [... ... ... ...]
