Fresca rosa novella

Language: Italian

 Fresca rosa novella,
 piacente  Primavera,
 per prata a per rivera
 gaiamente cantando,
 vostro fin pregio mando
 a la verdura.

 Lo vostro pregio fino
 In gio' si rinovelli
 da grandi e da zitelli
 per ciascuno cammino;
 e càntine gli augelli
 ciascunmo in suo latino
 da sera a da matino
 su li verdi arbuscelli.
 Tutto lo mondo canti
 (poi che lo tempo vène)
 sì come si convene,
 vostr'altezza pregiata;
 chè siete angelicata
 criatura.
