by Tomás Antônio Gonzaga (1744 - 1810?)

Em uma frondosa
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Em uma frondosa
Roseira se abria
Um lindo botão.
Marília formosa
O pé lhe torcia
Com a branca mão.

Nas folhas viçosas
A abelha enraivada
O corpo escondeu.
Tocou-lhe Marília,
Na mão descuidada
A fera mordeu.

Apenas lhe morde,
Marília, gritando,
C'o dedo fugiu.
Amor, que no bosque
Estava brincando,
Aos ais acudiu.

Mal viu a rotura,
E o sangue espargido
Que a Deusa mostrou;
Risonho beijando
O dedo ofendido,
Assim lhe falou:

"Se tu por tão pouco
"O pranto desatas,
"Ah dá-me atenção;
"E como daquele,
"Que feres, e matas,
"Não tens compaixão?"
