The Madrigal can also be performed by 4 instruments such as Violin, Flute, Oboe, Viola. Here are all three verses:
O occhi, manza mia, cigli dorati!
O faccia d'una luna stralucente!
Tienimi a mente, gioia mia bella,
Guardam'un poc'a me, fa mi contento.
O bocca come zuccaro, impanato.
O canna che specchiare, fai la gente.
Tiene mi mente, gioia mia bella,
Guardam'n poc'a me, fa mi contento.
O cuore, manza mia, perfido cuore.
Tu sei la gioia mia, lo mio amore!
Tiene mi mente, gioia mia bella,
Guardam'n poc'a me, fa mi contento.
