Pria che'l ciel fosse il mar la terra e'l foco,
era il foco la terra il ciel e'l mare,
ma'l mar renden' il ciel la terra e'l foco,
deforme il foco il ciel la terra e'l mare,
ch'iviera terra e cielo, e mar e foco,
dov'era cielo e terra e foco e mare,
la terra il foco e'l mar era nel cielo,
nel mar nel foco e ne la terra il cielo.
