Gloria d'Amore
A couple begin facing, not holding hands. Note that this doesn't have the same "chorus" at the end of each repetition of the music (though it has recurring elements, and a clear structure).
First verse:
Riverenza minima, 2 Spezzati in a wheel, 2 Scambiate,
2 Puntate, one forwards and one backwards
2 Spezzati flankingly backwards, 2 Passi forwards, Cadenza
Second verse:
4 Spezzati in a wheel, 4 Trabuchetti facing, Spezzato turning over left shoulder, Cadenza
2 Spezzati flankingly backwards
2 Riprese (LL) and 2 Trabuchetti (LR) flankingly forwards, Spezzato turning over left shoulder, Cadenza
Third verse:
Man's solo: 2 Fioretti a pie pari, 2 Passi backwards, Spezzato to left, Riverenza minima right; repeat to right
Both: 2 Puntate, one forwards and one backwards
2 Riprese (LL) and 2 Trabuchetti (LR) to left; Spezzato turning over left shoulder, Cadenza
Fourth Verse:
Woman's solo: same as man's, or replace the Fioretti with 4 Trabuchetti.
Both: as in verse 3.
Fifth verse:
2 Spezzati, Seguito Semidoppio a wheel to the left; repeat to right
Trabuchetto left, touch right hands; Trabuchetto right, touch left hands
2 Spezzati flankingly backwards, 2 Passi forwards, Cadenza.
Final Riverenza after the music ends.

GLORIA D’AMORE, CASCARDA;
IN HONOUR OF THAT ILLUSTRIOUS LADY, SIGNORA VIRGINIA GLORIERI,
Gentlewoman of Rome
They do the Riverenza Minima facing; then they do in a wheel two Seguiti spezzati, with two Scambiate, one to the left, the other two the right, and two Puntate, one forwards, the other backwards: then [le quali] two Seguiti spezzati flankingly backwards, with two Passi presti forwards, and the CAdenza, beginning each part with the left foot, except the Cadenza.
In the second Tempo, they do four Seguiti spezzati in a wheel, four Trabuchetti facing, and one Seguito Spezzato and turn round to the left and the Cadenza; then they will do two Seguiti spezzati flankingly backwards, two Riprese, and two Trabuchetti turning the left flank inwards; at the end of this they do one Seguito spezzato turning to the left, and the Cadenza, as they did above.
Variation of the Man alone, and then together.
In the third tempo, the Man alone does two Fioretti á pié pari, two Passi presti backwards, with one Seguito spezzato, turning the body to face to the left, and beginning with the left, and in that instant he does the Riverenza minima with the right: the same he does another turn from the head; beginning each part with the right foot, and the Riverenza with the left: then together they do two Puntate, one forwards, and the other backwards, with two Riprese, two Trabuchetti to the left, and one Seguito spezzato turning around similarly to the left, and the Cadenza with the right.
Variation of the Lady, and then together.
In the fourth tempo, the Lady does the same as the Man did alone, and if she does not know how to do the Fioretti, in their place she does four Trabuchetti, with a Seguito spezzato and the Riverenza minima with the right: the same she turns to do another turn, beginning eberything with the right, and the Riverenza with the left; Then they do those other actions as they did in the Man’s Variation.
In the fifth tempo, they do in a wheel two Seguiti spezzati, and one Seguito semidoppio, beginning with the left: they do the same to the right, beginning with the right: then they do two Trabuchetti gravi, one to the left touching [la Fé- hand?] right, the other to the right touching [la Fé] left: finally they do two two Seguiti spezzati flankingly backwards, with two Passi presti forwards: and the Cadenza. Against the tempo they do the Riverenza, and they finish the Cascarda.
