Poiché gli anni son ridenti

Poiché gli anni son ridenti,
Poiché amor ci scalda il seno,
Non perdiamo i bei momenti,
Cogliam l'ore del piacer.
A che giova col pensiero
Ir vagando nel futuro?
Pensi il folle al dì venturo,
Del presente  vo' goder.
Come rapida riviera
Passa il flutto della vita,
E chi sa, se questa sera
Noi saremo ancor quaggiù!
