My lips shall close but to her sacred name!
My tongue be silent but to spread her fame!
"In woods, groves, hills, Vitullia's name shall ring!
In meadows, orchards, gardens, sweetest and fair!
I'll learn the birds her name alone to sing!
All quires shall chant it in a heavenly air!
The Day shall be her Usher! Night, her Page!
Heaven, her Palace! and this Earth, her Stage!
"Virgin's pure chasteness, in her eyes shall be!
Women, true love, from her true mind shall learn!
