la fronte, e ben senti' mover la piuma,
che fe sentir d'ambrosia l'orezza.

Fan
(Of Mery Laurent)
Frigid roses to last
Identically will interrupt
With a calyx, white, abrupt,
Your breath become frost
But freed by my fluttering
By shock profound, the sheaf
Of frigidity melts to relief
Of laughter's
rapturous
flowering.

As for those
Who slip through streets when honest men repose,
With eyes turned to the ground, and in night's shade
The rights of
trusting
husbands to invade;
I say the Cid would force such knaves as these
To beg the city's pardon on their knees;
And with the flat of his all-conquering blade
Their rank usurped and 'scutcheon would degrade.
