Io son talvolta donna per morire se non m'aita il sguardo onde mi struggo mi consumo ed ardo gli occhi soavi e belli che mi dan fiamma e ghiaccio dolce contrario in me for di natura e li dorati e snelli capei del mio cor laccio mi prometton soccorso e dan pastura soccorrimi però non esser dura fammi di te gioire ch'io son talvolta donna per morire

Free elaboration: the loose relationship between the supposed model and this duo makes me think that there could be an earlier model for both compositions. For more information, see Bornstein, Italian Duos, vol. I, p. 68; vol. II, p. 399.
