Italian text

Mentre, lumi maggior de secol nostro
Sotto’l Belgico ciel porge la luce
Al carro ch’a l’oprar e al sonno induce,
Nova Delia et Apol, lo splendor vostro;
E mentr’il santo amor fra l’oro e l’ostro
Da le perle e i robini al cor traluce
Et a l’alto gioir vi riconduce,
Cui non cape pensier nè adombr’inchiostro.
Le caste nimphe su l’erbose sponde
De la Trebia e del Taro in negro manto
Doglionsi d’ogni lor gloria sparita,
E colme di desir vaghe di pianto
Tra mestissimi accenti e gli antri e l’onde
Fan risonar Ottavio e Margherita.
