Chiudesti i lumi, Armida: il cielo avaro
Invidiò il conforto ai tuoi martiri.
Apri, misera, gli occhi: il pianto amaro
Negli occhi al tuo nemico or che non miri?
Oh s'udir rt'l potessi, oh come caro
T'addolcirebbe il suon de' suoi sospiri!
Dà quanto ei puote, e prende (ah tu nol vedi)
Pietoso in vista gli ultimi congedi.
