| O mind by ardent virtue graced and warm'd | A |
| To whom my pen so oft pours forth my heart | A |
| Mansion of noble probity who art | A |
| A tower of strength 'gainst all assault full arm'd | A |
| O rose effulgent in whose foldings charm'd | A |
| We view with fresh carnation snow take part | A |
| O pleasure whence my wing'd ideas start | A |
| To that bless'd vision which no eye unharm'd | A |

| Could bear to Bactra and to Thule's coast | A |
| Nile Tana s and Calpe should resound | A |

| Oh if so far its sound may reach your name | B |
| On my fond verse shall travel West and East | A |
| From southern Nile to Thule's utmost bound | A |
| But such full audience since I may not claim | B |
| It shall be heard in that fair land at least | A |
| Which Apennine divides which Alps and seas surround | A |
