Cresci, bel, verde Alloro,
E dove il primo è svelto, secco,e frale?
Vivi d'amor, di fè sempre immortale.
Ecco di primavera April, che dice,
Cresci pianta felice,
Ecco di Ninfe,e Muse,i lieti chori,
E di Cigni canori, che girando
Le rive di Permesso van cantando,
O Lauro trionfale,
Vivi d'amor, di fè sempre immortale.
