Lucidissima face, Endimione's aria from La Calisto

Lucidissima face,
di Tessaglia le note,
non sturbino i tuoi giri,
e la tua pace.
Da gl'Atlantici monti,
tra boccando le rote,
Febo, dal caro ardente,
omai, omai  tramonti.
Il mio lume nascente,
Illuminando il cielo,
più bello a me si mostri,
e risplendente.
Astro mio vago, e caro,
a' tuoi raggi di gelo,
nel petto amante a nutrir
fiamme imparo, imparo.
