Coppa di Nestore.
Nestor’s cup.
Era il vaso, ove Nestore bevea,
Di bianco e puro
argento, e due fondi.
Quattro chiovetti di fin oro havea,
Quattro
manichi anchor vaghi e giocondi
Sopra ciascun de quai l’occhio
vedea
Una columba, ch’artificio
ascondi
La coppa il ciel dinota che d’argento
Assembra, e l’occhio
fa pago e contento. Link to an image of this page [p99]I chiovetti si posson dir le stelle,
Ch’imitar
l’oro; e le colombe sono
Le pleiade ad altrui lucenti e
belle.
I due fondi, di cui scrivo e ragiono
Son le due orse leggiadrette e
snelle,
C’hanno sempre il voler sicero e buono.
I forti sanno far ad altri danno,
Del cielo i savi i gran secreti sanno
