Ammirabili forme, Diana's aria from La Calisto

Ascender qui,
ascender qui ved'io,
il pastorello mio,
e qui solinga in solitario loco,
per ardere al mio foco,
non per scoprimi amante
mi son condotta.
Oh Diana fortunata!
Ecco, ecco che dorme.

Ammirabili forme,
ignota adoratrice vi potrò pur,
felice vagheggiar, contemplarva,
senza rossor baciarvi.
Ma, che parli di baci,
oh casta Diana?
Ah taci!
Ohimè, che mi procura,
amareggiare il soave pensiero?
io vò baciarae.
