| How vain and dull this common world must seem | B |
| To such a One as thou who should'st have talked | C |
| At Florence with Mirandola or walked | C |
| Through the cool olives of the Academe | B |
| Thou should'st have gathered reeds from a green stream | B |

| The loveless lips with which men kiss in Hell | E |
