Intorno a due vermiglie e vaghe labra
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Intorno a due vermiglie e vaghe labra, di cui rose più belle non ha la primavera, volan soavi baci a schier'a schiera. E son più ch'a le stelle in ciel puro e sereno, più ch'a le gemme de la terra in seno. Motti sonori od amorosi o casti, tra tanti un mi negasti, spietat'un bacio solo, tu che non spieghi a volo, Amor, insidiando a baci sì com'augei rapaci, che sol imaginand'han già rapita quest'alm'e questa vita. Tendi l'insidie tendi ed un'almen tra mill'ardito prendi.
