"Io mi son giovinetta 
e rido e canto alla stagion novella",
cantava la mia dolce pastorella,
quando subitamente
quando l'ali il cor mio 
spiegò come augellin subitamente
tutto lieto e ridente, 
cantando in sua favella:
"Son giovinetto anch'io 
e rido e canto a più beata e bella
primavera d'amore, 
che nei begli occhi tuoi fiorisce." Ed ella:
"Fuggi, se saggio sei," - disse - :l'ardore,
fuggi, chè in questi rai 
primavera per te non sarà mai."
