by Gennarantonio Federico (d. 1744)

A Serpina penserete
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
A Serpina penserete    
qualche volta, e qualche dì
e direte: "Ah! poverina,
cara un tempo ella mi fu."
(Ei mi par che già pian piano
s'incomincia a intenerir.)

S'io poi fui impertinente,
mi perdoni: malamente
mi guidai: lo vedo, sì.
(Ei mi stringe per la mano,
meglio il fatto non può gir.)
