Original text and translations

Italian text

Gentil almo paese
ove de lieti amanti
nacque la bella coppia rara eletta,
aere vago cortese
e più seren di quanti si vider mai

e tu diva Marietta
in compagnia d'amodi si pregiat' honore
co'l tuo pastore 
in voce alt' e perfetta
rendete gratie insieme al gran motore.
