Original text and translations

Italian text Deh, coralli1 ridenti, E voi, perle2 odorate, Che nettare dolcissimo stillate, Non vi chiudete a miei sospir ardenti, Perché tra lor’involto è l’alma mia, Che baciar vi desia. 1 labbra rossi 2 denti

German translation Ach, lächelnde Korallen1, und ihr, duftende Perlen2, die ihr von süßestem Nektar trieft, verschließt euch nicht meinen heißen Seufzern, denn in sie eingeschlossen ist meine Seele, die euch zu küssen begehrt. 1 rote Lippen 2 Zähne Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation Ah smiling corals1, and you, odorous pearls2, that ooze with sweetest nectar, don’t lock yourself to my ardent sighs, for inserted in them is my soul, which desires to kiss you. 1 red lips 2 teeth Translation by Gerhard Weydt
