by Giulio Strozzi (1583 - 1660)

Come dolce hoggi l'auretta
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Come dolce hoggi l'auretta
Lusinga spira, spira e vien
A baciarmi lascivetta,
A baciarmi le guancie 'l sen.

Gli Amoretti l'aura fanno
Quando l'ali spiegan al Ciel
Quando vanno, quando vanno
Della notte a squarciar il vel.

Ride il bosco, brilla il prato,
Scherza il fonte, festeggia 'l mar
Quando un fiato, quando un fiato
D'aura fresca s'ode spirar.

Entri pur nel nostro petto
O bell'aura nel tuo venir
Quel diletto, quel diletto
Che fa l'alme tanto gioir.
