Text

Per subito comando
tu, d'ogn'altro piacer me desti el bando

dona, quand'io te vidi
di duo color in una vaga vesta
la qual bela e onesta
me te mostr=, che per ti trasi i cridi
d'amor. PerchT me sfidi?
State con Dio, ch'a lui ti ricomando.

Translation

By a sudden order, Lady.
you excluded me from every other pleasure.

when I saw you
in a lovely two-coloured dress
which made you appear beautiful and honest
and excited my cries
of love. Why do you provoke me?
Go with God to whom I commend you.
