by Hercole Bentivoglio (c1506 - 1573)

La bocca onde l'asprissime parole
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
La bocca onde l'asprissime parole
Solean uscir ch'ir mi facean dolente
Vie più di quante mai fur sotto il sole,
Hor nutre l'alma mia soavemente
D'odor di fresche rose, e di viole,
Cui cede ogn'altro che l'Arabia sente
Et d' Ambrosia e di Nettare la pasce,
Ché tra le perle, e i bei rubini nasce.
