by Folgore da San Geminiano (flourished 1309-1317)

Dicembre
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
E di dicembre una città in piano:
sale terrene, grandissimi fuochi,
tappeti tesi, tavolier e giuochi,
torticci accesi, star coi dadi in mano,
e l'oste inebriato e catellano,
e porci morti e finissimi cuochi,
ghiotti morselli, ciascun bea e manrdóchi:
le botti sian maggior, che San Galgàno.
E siate ben vestiti e foderati
di guarnacch'e tabarri e di mantelli
e di cappucci fini e smisurati;
e beffe far de' tristi cattivelli
de' miseri dolenti sciagurati
avari: non vogliate usar con elli.
