by Ludovico Lepòreo (1582 - 1655)

Cantico semantico
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Imita Omero in bevere e scrivere

Son poeta di bieta, imito Omero:
Ché di vin mero inebriomi d'Epiro,
Ma non deliro e meglio fo il mestiero
Di canzoniero e carmi d'armi stiro.

Metrico spiro entosiasmo vero
E bombardiero avanzo Achille diro,
E canto d'Iro, Ulisse ed il guerriero
Ettore fiero, e spessi rutti tiro.

A lauree aspiro d'apollineo alloro,
minio e lavoro come Alberto Duro,
e a chiaroscuro avanzo Polidoro.

E s'io non moro tisico maturo,
Esser mi auguro corifero del coro,
Poiché, com'oro, il vino urino al muro.
