Sirene.
Sirens.
Han le sirene di donzella aspetto,
Et il resto del corpo è brutto
pesce.
Tal son le meretrice che dilecto
Si dan nel volto, che ogni dolce
mesce,
Poscia con l’opre
pien d’amaro
effetto
Fan, che sovente altrui la
vita incresce:
Ma chi di virtù s’arma
alma & honesta.
Con Ulisse
le vince, e intatto resta.
