Seguidament els llavis cantaria amb què em persuadeixes i m’arbores. Tos llavis són metzines temptadores, ires de voluptat i de follia; Saben paraules embriagadores, i el dolç segell que l’esperit desnia; besen de nit amb flaires dormidores i criden clars en aixecar-se el dia. O llavis, de la cara en la blancor són escarlates de cruel bellesa. O llavis, llavis, quina sang malmesa De ferit us ha dada l’encesor? Quin cor xuclàreu, que teniu tebior d’alguna visa que va poc heu presa?
