"This Baroque Italian aria is perhaps best known as it appears in Schirmer's Twenty-Four Italian Songs and Arias, most of which had appeared previously in the Anthology of Italian Song of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. The pieces in that collection were sometimes set with less than historically accurate accompaniments. In this case, even the song is a modern fabrication, apparently written by Parisotti and passed off as a song by Pergolesi. Stravinsky gives it a pungent harmonization in the ballet ''Pulcinella''.<br>"

¶Lyrics / Text

:Se tu m’ami, se sospiri :Sol per me, gentil pastor, :Ho dolor de’ tuoi martiri, :Ho diletto del tuo amor, :Ma se pensi che soletto :Io ti debba riamar, :Pastorello, sei soggetto :Facilmente a t’ingannar. :Bella rosa porporina :Oggi Silvia sceglierà, :Con la scusa della spina :Doman poi la sprezzerà. :Ma degli uomini il consiglio :Io per me non seguirò. :Non perché mi piace il giglio :Gli altri fiori sprezzerò.
