S. Elena
Nel mirar quel sasso amato,
  Che raccolse il sommo Bene,
  Mi ricordo le sue pene,
  Mi rammento il nostro error.
Parmi questo
  Il dì funesto,
  Che spirò l’eterna Prole,
  E che il volto ascose il Sole,
  Per pietà del suo Fattor.

Eustazio
In te s’affida e spera
  Ogni dubbioso cor,
  Iride messaggiera
  Del sospirato dì.
Scopri il bramato stelo,
  Quasi colomba ancor;
  E mostra che del Cielo
  Lo sdegno ormai finì.
