Disse il ver? parlò per gioco? Mi confondo a' detti sui e comincio a poco a poco di me stesso a dubitar. Pianger fanno i pianti altrui, sospirar gli altrui sospiri; ben potrian gli altrui deliri insegnarmi a delirar.
Achille in Sciro

Fra l'ombre un lampo solo
Fra l'ombre un lampo solo Basta al nocchier sagace Che già ritrova il polo, Che riconosce il mar. Al pellegrin ben spesso basta un vestigio impresso perché la via fallace non l’abbia ad ingannar.

Del sen gli ardori
Del sen gli ardori nessun mi vanti; non soffro amori, non voglio amanti: troppo mi è cara la libertà. Se fosse ognuno così sincero, meno importuno parrebbe il vero; saria più rara l'infedeltà.

Risponderti vorrei
Risponderti vorrei ma gela il labbro e tace: lo rese amor loquace, muto lo rende Amor: Amor, che a suo talento rende un imbelle audace, e abbatte in un momento, quando gli piace, un cor.
