Original text and translations

Italian text

Vicino un chiaro e cristallino fonte
La bella Clori ad arte
Chiese a Tirsi in qual parte
Il buon bacio si coglie.
Ed ei rispose:
Ove la bella Dea suo seggio pose.
Anzi tra queste rose, diss' ella,
E à le sue labbra un bacio diede,
Poi volse in fuga il piede.
Così lascia schernito
Tirsi e d'amor ferito.
