Possa io morir di mala morte
s'io non ve amo et non ve adoro
quanto si può te amar, ben colto alloro;
E chi volete voi,
terrestre iddio, ch'adori et ch'io ami
s'io non amo et adoro i vostri rami?

English.png English translation

May I die a miserable death
if I do not love you and adore you
insomuch as one can love you, well-tended laurel;
And who else, terrestrial god,
would you ever want me to adore and love,
if not to love and adore your branches?
