ALL THREE: A heart, under the domination of love, Is always with a
thousand cares oppressed. It is said that we gladly languish,
gladly sigh; But, despite what can be said, There is nothing so
sweet as our liberty!

FIRST MAN: There is nothing so sweet as the loving fires That make
two hearts beat as one. One cannot live without amorous desires;
Take love from life, you take away the pleasures.

SECOND MAN: It would be sweet to submit to love's rule, If one
could find faithful love, But, alas! oh cruel rule! No faithful
shepherdess is to be seen, And that inconstant sex, much too
unworthy, Must renounce love eternally.

FIRST MAN: Pleasing ardor!

WOMAN: Happy liberty!

SECOND MAN: Deceitful woman!

FIRST MAN: How precious you are to me!

WOMAN: How you please my heart!

SECOND MAN: How horrible you are to me!

FIRST MAN: Ah, leave, for love, that mortal hate!

WOMAN: We can, we can show you a faithful shepherdess!
