Original text and translations

Italian text

O bella Ninfa mia,
Ch'al fuoco spento,
Rendi le fiamme anzi riscald'il gielo,
I fium'affren'e fai stabil'il vento,
Nel piu turbat'e piu commesso cielo,
Taccia chi creder vole,
Haver di voi piu ragg'e piu splendore,
In orient'il sole,
Albergo vero del tirann'Amore.
