Original text and translations

Italian text

Spiega, mondo maligno, i tuoi tesori
  Falsi e palesa i tuoi finti piaceri:
  Cela gl'inganni, e tradimenti veri
  E copri il tuo velen fra' l'herbe e i fiori.

  Prometti puretà, ricchezze, honori
  Per trar la gente ingorda a' tuoi voleri
  Ch'io già conosco i tuoi malvagi, e feri
  Consigli, uscito de' tuoi lacci fuori.
