by Giuseppe Petrosellini (1727 - 1799)

Veramente ho torto, è vero
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Veramente ho torto, è vero:    
quando un dito s'è bruciato,
coll'inchiostro risanato
egli è certo ch'esser può.
Se una penna tinta resta,
fu cagion che su la vesta
nuovo fior si disegnò.
Se di carta un foglio manca,
voi mi dite molto franca
ch'alla figlia del barbiere
un cartoccio pien di dolci
in quest'oggi si mandò.
Ma il dito è nero,
la penna è tinta,
il foglio manca:
le vostre scuse
mai crederò.
Un'altra volta,
quando ch'io sorto,
con catenacci
e più lucchetti,
a cento chiavi
vi chiuderò.
