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.png 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
