Su, su, su che’l giorno è fore
su, su, su pastori uscite
et gli augelletti udite
che fan cantando a la bell’Alba honore.

Udite i rami e l’ore
et per l’herbe le chiare
acque, che nel passare
fan mormorando a la bell’Alba honore.

Ecco la bianca suore
di Febo et l’altre belle,
vaghe, et lucenti stelle,
che fan partendo a la bell’Alba honore.

Su, su, su ch’il sol s’inalba
tutti cantiam d’Amore
et con dovuto honore
facciam cantando riverenza all’Alba.

Così, mentre sorgea
Alba, Damon cantava
e i compagni invitava
a far cantando honore a la sua Dea.
