La Quaglia. Sonetto burlesco
 (Sung text for setting by B. Strozzi)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Lascia di Libia il ciel l'ardita Quaglia
e rivarcato il procelloso Egeo
Invan cercando il suo crudel marmeo
qui nel foco d'Amor tutta se squaglia

Mentre sonora più la voce scaglia
contro l'amante fuggitivo e reo
par che mi desti un impeto Febeo
e à dir contro di voi l'ira m'assaglia

ecco vanno del pari i nostri affanni
s'ella il capo dibatte il mio piè trotta
si pasce ella di migli lo di mal' anni

squaqquera spesso & io sospiro ogn'hotta
le penne ha sconcie & io squarciati i panni
ell'adora vn marmeo io vna marmotta.
