Italian text
Io pensai dolce, e grato
Quel dispietato Alloro,
Che nacque già d'un cor crudel'e ingrato.
Sperai frutti maturi,
Da cui sempre li rende acerbi, e duri;
Nè stimai, che d'Amor le freccie d'oro
Là folgorassin, dove
Mai non saetta Giove.
(Ahi troppo grave errore)
Ma colpa mia non fù più, che d'Amore.
