Esser deggio come un scoglio
Esser deggio come un scoglio che all'orgoglio di due venti senza moversi sen sta. Hanno in petto egual valore fede e amore, ma costante forte il cor li sosterrà.

Un solo sospiro
Un solo sospiro, ch'esalo dal core, acceso d'amore, lo può fulminar. E 'l brando, se giro, vedrà quell'altero, ch'amante, e guerriero saprò trionfar.

Prova eccelsa è di grandezza
Prova eccelsa è di grandezza, non sprezzar l'umil bassezza di mendica povertà. A un tal don, ch'ogn'altro eccede, io darò sol, per mercede, servitù con fedeltà.
