Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer

Ah! Palestrina, Vento, Faustina,
Strada, Tartini, Galuppi, Nardini.

Buononcini con Martini, Perez e Corelli.
Ah! Perez e Corelli.

Ah! Caporali, Galli, Pasquali,
Frasi, Pugnani, Tenducci, Guadagni.
[Rauzzini, Sacchini, Margarita, Nicolini]
Ah! Pesceti e Cervetti, Nozi e Giardini,
Ah! Nozi e Giardini.
