PRIMA PARTE
Giovane illustre sopr'il Mincio nata
Per far del nido tuo nov'oriente
Che surg'a par del sol chiar'e lucente
Si t'ha Dio stesso di sua man ornata.


SECONDA PARTE
Alma reale a cui somm'honestate
Somma gratia e valor somma beltate
Fan riccho cerchio di bel smalt'e d'oro
Al lucido thesoro
Delle gemme del ciel ch'in te risplende
il cui santo splendor ne men'intorno
Eterno chiar'e fortunato giorno.


TERZA PARTE
O sopra l'altre aventuros'etate
O d'eterne richezz'adorn'e bella
Castissima Isabella
Da cui sola depende
Ciò ch'a morte può far oltraggio e scorno
O paragon d'ogn'honorata storia
O altiero lume di Gonzaga e gloria.
