Aura che mormorando al bosco
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Aura, che mormorando al bosco intorno,
tempri la fiamma de l’ardente sole.
Volati, prego, hor che su’l mezzo giorno
te sola attenda e dorme il mio bel sole;
e vaga nel suo morbido soggiorno
te assidi, e cingi di rose e viole
il biondo crine e d’un sì nobil velo
che non l’offenda mai caldo, né gelo.

Così non senti mai novo furore
del freddo Borea combattendo il verno,
né con turbato ciel, turbato humore
discenda not’a darti affanno interno;
e’l vivo del tuo caro ardito ardore
sia teco e nel tuo amante sempiterno:
né gelosia lo spenga, o nova fiamma,
lo scemi, o lo consumi a dramma a dramma.
