Spesso vibra per suo gioco

Spesso vibra per suo gioco
Il bendato pargoletto
Strali d'oro in umil petto,
Stral di ferro in nobil core.

Poi languendo in mezzo alfoco
Del diverso acceso strale per oggetto
Non eguale questo manca, 
E quel vien meno.

Spesso vibra per suo gioco
Il bendato pargoletto
Strali d'oro in umil petto,
Stral di ferro in nobil seno.
