by Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321)
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca, desiderosi d'ascoltar, seguiti dietro al mio legno che cantando varca, tornate a riveder li vostri liti: non vi mettete in pelago, ché forse, perdendo me, rimarreste smarriti. L'acqua ch'io prendo già mai non si corse; Minerva spira, e conducemi Appollo, e nove Muse mi dimostran l'Orse.
