Mirinda
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Mirinda e il fido, ne l'occulta stanza Adagiati su' troni orientali, Dilettansi a gittar lucidi strali Sotto i piè d'un fanciul nudo che danza. Un grande e bianco augello, a passi equali, Carico d'otri, sparge in abondanza Acque d'ambra d'insolita fragranza Sui marmi che dan lume ai penetrali, "Vedrem fiori, com' ampie urne fiorire; Berremo un vin ne' puri alvi de' frutti; E guarderemo entro smeraldi il sole." Dice Mirinda. E il termulo nitrire De' liocorni e il murmure de' flutti Si mescono a le sue lente parole.
