Belle rose porporine
Che tra spine
Sull'aurora non aprite;
Ma, ministri degl'amori,
Bei tesori
Di bei denti custodite. 
 
Dite, rose preziose,
Amorose;
Dit'ond'è, che s'io m'affiso
Nel bel guardo acceso ardente
Voi repente
Disciogliete un bel sorriso? 
 
Se bel rio, bell'auretta
Tra l'erbetta
Su'l mattin mormorando erra;
Se di fiori un praticello
Si fa bello;
Noi diciam: Ride la terra. 
 
Quando avvien, ch'un zeffiretto
Per diletto
Muova'l piè sull'onde chiare,
Si che l'acqua in sull'arena
Scherzi appena;
Noi diciam, che ride il mare.
