Volan quasi farfalle a i vostri almi splendori,
O bella donna, i pargoletti Amori;
Indi scherzando intorno al chiaro lume,
Chiaro sì ma cocente,
Provan l'altra virtù, quella ch'è ardente,
Ne le tenere piume, e intorno a voi
Cadendo a mille a mille tranno da le faville
Di lor penne riarse il foco, e poi,
Fanno l'incendio onde avvampate voi.
