Rimanti amica pianta
di pretiosi doni ornata,
e carca se tanto a me concede amica Parca presto, presto ti rivedrò
rimanti, rimanti, e vanta ne sia poca tua fama
che Xerse Imperrator t'adora, e t'ama.

Ombra mai fù
di Vegitabile
cara, et amabile
soave più.

bei Smeraldi crescenti
frondi tenere, e belle
di turbini, e procelle
importuni tormenti
non v'affliggano mai la dolce pace
ne giung' a profanarvi Austro rapace.
Ombra…
