Il piu fido di me by Benedetto Ferrari — Lyrics
Il piu fido di me
nel gran Regno d'amor certo non è,
ne mai fu nè sarà,
O felice colei che m'amerà,
che si puo desiar di piu dolc'ina mar
che puro affetto e schietta lealtà,
O felice colei, che m'amerà.
Son costant'e sincer
fido Campion del amoroso Arcier,
tutto son dolc'e pio,
o beato quel cor, che fara mio,
io chi m'ama schernir?

The lyrics celebrate the happiness of the beloved who will win his heart, emphasizing his commitment and the joy of true love.
