Grazie agl'inganni tuoi,
  Al fin respiro, o Nice,
  Al fin d'un infelice
  Ebber gli Dei pietà:
    Sento da' lacci suoi,
  Sento che l' Alma è sciolta:
  Non sogno questa volta,
  Non sogno libertà.

 ... 

 ... 
    E (non t' offenda il vero) 
  Nel tuo leggiadro aspetto
  Or vedo alcun difetto,
  Che mi parea beltà.
