Dolcissimo ben mio,
Speme di questo core,
In premio del mio amore
Donami un bacio e satia il mio desio;
Unico mio tesoro,
Porgimi quelle rose
C'hai nelle labra ascose
Ch'a l'alma mia darai dolce ristoro.

Translation by Allen Garvin
My very sweetest one,
hope of my heart,
as a reward for my love
give me a kiss and satisfy my desire;
My only treasure,
give me those roses
that you have in your lips concealed
so you may, to my soul, give sweet comfort.
