Frondeggia il bosco d'uberi verzure, Volgendo i rii zaffiro e margherita: Per gli archi verdi un'anima romita Cinge pallidi fuochi a ridde oscure. E in te ristretta con le mani pure Come le pure fonti della vita, Di sole e d'ombre mobili vestita Tu danzi, Egle, con languide misure. E a te candida e bionda tra li ninfe, D'ilari ambagi descrivendo il verde, Sotto i segreti ombracoli del verde, Ove la più inquïeta ombra s'attrista, Perle squillanti e liquido ametista Volge la gioia roca delle linfe.
