ORIGINAL LYRICS IN ITALIAN
Alto Giove
è tua grazia è tuo vanto
Il gran dono di vita immortale
Che il tuo Cenno sovrano mi fà.

Ma il rendermi poi quella
Già sospirata tanto
Diva amorose e bella
è un dono senza uguale come la tua beltà.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Mighty Jove, the great gift of immortal life
that your sovereign command granted me
is your blessing and your glory.

But to give me
that beautiful, loving goddess...
