Z 609 The rival sisters 12. How happy is she. [Neapolitan translation]

How happy is she that early her passion begins

And willing with Love to agree

Does not stay till she comes to her teens.

Then she' s all chaste and pure

Like Angels, her smiles to be prized

Pleasure is seen cherub-faced

And Nature appears undisguised.
