Seite 226 - La bocca sparsa di natio cinabro; Quivi due filze son di perle elette, Che chiude ed apre un bello, e dolce labro: Quindi escon le cortesi parolette Da render molle ogni cor rozzo e scabro: Quivi si forma quel soave riso, Ch'apre a sua posta in terra il paradiso. Bianca neve è il bel collo, e...
Seite 226 - Si vede al fin della persona augusta II breve, asciutto, e ritondetto piede. Gli Angelici sembianti nati in cielo Non si ponno celar sotto alcun velo.
Seite 207 - That not in fancy's maze he wander'd long, But stoop'd to Truth, and moraliz'd his song...
