I ran to look at her, and filled with astonishment:

"She is not a woman - I said to me -

for ray shines in her more than earthly,

but the envoy of the Sun, candid Goddess."

(from 'The white dress', Ciro di Pers, 1689)

Corsi a mirarla, e di stupor ripieno:

"Donna non è costei – fra me dicea, –

ché raggio splende in lei piú che terreno,

ma la nunzia del Sol, candida Dea."

(da 'La veste bianca', Ciro di Pers, 1689)
