Cantava la più vaga

Cantava la più vaga pastorella 
Che mai premesse fiori 
E scopriva nel viso almi colori
Una ninfa di lei molto più bella.
Deh, perché l'alma fatta ad ambe ancella 
Non ebbe allor duo cori, 
Mentr'era a I'un e a l'altra intento e fiso 
Per lassarne uno al canto e l'altro al viso.
