Che la Musica è amata da gli Iddii.
Music is loved by the Gods.
L’arguta
Cetra col
nemico a prova
Sonava Elpino;[1] e mentre al suono è intento,
Di
saventura inusitata e nova
Ruppe una corda, onde fini il concento.
Ma
in quel difetto una Cicala giova,
Ch’a
la corda suppli con dolce accento.
Ond’ei
di bronzo una Cicala dona.
A Phebo, accio di lei sia la corona.
1. Elpino is a stock pastoral character who sometimes plays the lute..

Insegna de Poeti.
Insignia of Poets.
Chi per insegna di sua gente pone
L’uccel,
che rapì in Ida Ganimede.
Chi prende il fiero Serpe, e chi’l
Leone,
E chi
Animal, che più leggiadro vede,
Al Poeta lodato con ragione
E a i dotti
e rari il Cigno si conviene,
Ch’è; sacro a Phebo, e già fu Re, & anchora.
Serba gliantichi progi, ond’altri
honora.
