Original text and translations

Italian text

A le caste fiammelle,
Ond'il sacr'Himeneo vi scald'il seno,
S'accendino le stelle,
E à sette colli intorno,
Girino il ciel piu puro e piu sereno,
Sorga di doppio sol ardent'il giorno,
E sacrifichi Amor di spoglie carco,
Ad Honofrio et Erminia i lacci e l'arco.
