La bocca onde l'asprissime parole

Language: Italian

La bocca onde l'asprissime parole
solean uscir ch'ir mi facean dolente
vie più di quante mai fur sotto il sole,
or nutre l'alma mia soavemente
d'odor di fresche rose e di viole,
cui cede ogn'altro che l'Arabia sente
e d'ambrosia e di nettare si pasce,
ché tra le perl'e i bei rubini nasce.
