{{Text|Italian|Cantan fra rami gli augelletti vaghi
{{LinkText|Cantan fra rami}}
azzurri e bianchi e verdi e rossi e gialli.
Murmuranti ruscelli e cheti laghi
di limpidezza vincono i cristalli.
Una dolce aura che ti par che vaghi
a un modo sempre e dal suo stil non falli,
facea si l'aria tremolar d'intorno,
che non potea noiar caldo del giorno:


E quella ai fiori, ai pomi e alla verdura
gli odor diversi depredando giva,
e di tutti faceva una mistura
che di soavita l'alma notriva.
Surgea un palazzo in mezzo alla pianura,
ch'acceso esser parea di fiamma viva:
tanto splendore intorno e tanto lume
raggiava, fuor d'ogni mortal costume.}}
{{Translation|English|Warble the wanton birds in verdant brake,
Azure, and red, and yellow, green and white.
The quavering rivulet and quiet lake
In limpid hue surpass the crystal bright.
A breeze, which with one breath appears to shake,
Aye, without fill or fall, the foliage light,
To the quick air such lively motion lends,
That Day's oppressive noon in nought offends;
And this, mid fruit and flower and verdure there,
Evermore stealing divers odours, went;
And made of those mixt sweets a medley rare,
Which filled the spirit with a calm content.
In the mid plain arose a palace fair,
Which seemed as if with living flames it brent.
Such passing splendour and such glorious light
Shot from those walls, beyond all usage bright.}}
