Volan quasi farfalle a i vostri almi splendori, O bella donna, i pargoletti Amori; Indi scherzando intorno al chiaro lume, Chiaro sì ma cocente, Provan l'altra virtù, quella ch'è ardente, Ne le tenere piume, e intorno a voi Cadendo a mille a mille tranno da le faville Di lor penne riarse il foco, e poi, Fanno l'incendio onde avvampate voi.
