Se gli alberi potessin favellare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se gli alberi potessin favellare E tutte le su' foglie fussin lingue, L'inchiostro fosse l'acqua dello mare, La terra calamaio e l'erba penne, E'l pian di Roma fosse cartao foglio, lo non ti scriverei il ben che ti voglio: Se il pian di Roma fosse foglio e carta, lo non ti scriverei la minor parte.
