Italian text
Cecilia, volgi un sguardo
verso il suolo Britanno,
e scorgerai che con sonori accenti
rinnova in questo giorno
del nome tuo si caro
la gradita memoria,
per celebrar della Virtu la gloria.
La Virtute e un vero nume
del mortal nel basso mondo.
Chi si scosta dal suo lume
va dell'ombre nel profondo.
