-La virginella è simil’ alla rosa,<br>
-ch’in bel giardin sula nativa spina,<br>
-Mentre sola è sicura si riposa,<br>
-Ne gregge, ne pastor se le avicina:<br>
-L’aura soave & l’alba rugiadosa,<br>
-L’acqua, la terra, al s’uo favor s’inchina:<br>
-Giovani vaghi, e donn’ inamorate,<br>
-Amano haverne è seni e tempie ornate.<br>
-::Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1535): ''Orlando Furioso'', Canto I, stanza 42
-{{Translation|English}}
-The fayre yong Virgin is lyke the rose untaynted,<br>
-in garden fayre while tender stalke doth beare it,<br>
-sole and untoucht, with no resort acquainted,<br>
-No shepherd nor his flock doth once come neare it,<br>
-th’ayre full of sweetnesse, the morning fresh depainted,<br>
-the earth, the water, with all theyr favours cheare it,<br>
-daintie yong gallants, and ladyes most desired,<br>
-delight to have therewith their heads and breasts attyred.<br>
-::as set by Byrd in ''Musica Transalpina'' (1588)
