Original text and translations

Italian text Hor ch’allegra e ridente La bella Dea di Gnido Tempra l’ardor de tuoi caldi sospiri, E con dolce gioir gl’aspri martiri Esci coppia felice, Poi ch’appagar ti lice Scherzando in dolci nodi i tuoi desiri, E quai Tortore fide al caro nido, Come già furo gl’amorosi ardori, Sien congionti i pensier, le voci e i cori.

German translation Nun, da vergnügt und lachend die schöne Göttin von Knidos die Glut deiner heißen Seufzer mäßigt und mit süßer Freude die grausamern Martern, erscheinst du als glückliches Paar, da dich zu freuen dir angemessen ist, in süßen Knoten deine Begierden schäkernd, und gleich den Turteltauben, treu dem teuren Nest, wie es einst waren die Liebesbegierden, so mögen vereint sein Gedanken, Stimmen und Herzen. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
