Tanto amore, segreto e inconfessato, grande così che questi strazi
son dolcezze per me, perché ne faccio dono al mio Signore...
Perché, tacendo, io gli do il tuo amore...
Te gli do, Principessa, e perdo tutto!
Persino l’impossibile speranza!...
Legatemi! Straziatemi!
Tormenti e spasimi date a me!
Ah! come offerta suprema del mio amore!
