    GentUe morbida, leggiadra mano Cui fer le proprie mani d'amore ; Piii dell’avorio Candida e tersa; Sparsa di vane pozzette moUi; Le cui flessibililunghette dita Doice assottigliano in unghie vaghe Arcate lucide rubicondette; Distesa appressati al palpitante Cor mio che cenere farsi gia sento ; Potra resistere del caro sguardo Allora a i fervidi raggi, onde fiamme Soavi scendono ma troppo ardenti.
