by Gabriello Chiabrera (1552 - 1638)

Vaga su spin'ascosa
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vaga su [spin'ascosa]1
è rosa rugiadosa,
[ch'all'alba]2 si diletta,
mossa da [fresc'auretta]3;
ma più vaga è la rosa
[sulla]4 guancia amorosa,
ch'oscura e discolora
le guance [dell'Aurora]5:
Addio, Ninfa de fiori,
e Ninfa de gli odori,
Primavera gentile,
Statti pur con Aprile:
che più vaga e più vera
mirasi Primavera
su quella fresca rosa
del la guancia amorosa,
ch'oscura e discolora
le guance [dell'Aurora]5.
