by Giulio Strozzi (1583 - 1660)

Godere in Gioventù
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Nel bel fior di gioventù
alle gioie aprire il seno
Donzellette e gran virtù

chi tardi cominciò gode assai meno
Scherniti pentimenti
che per comprar contenti
non hà spaccio poi molto
l'argento d'vn capel l'oro d'un volto

Nel bel fior di gioventù
alle gioie aprire il seno
Donzellette e gran virtù

è d'un corto mattin breve il sereno
Bellezze fuggitive
estinte pria che vive
in van l'arte v'aiuta
non si racquista più beltà perduta

Nel bel fior di giouentù
alle gioie aprire il seno
Donzellette e gran virtù.
