Su’l carro della mente auriga siedi,
 O bella donna, e prendi il freno altero,
 Onde vi regga il destrier bianco, e’l nero,
 E drizzi lor ver le celesti sedi.
L’un con rigida man percoti, e fiedi
 Se ribellante traviar dal vero
 Camino, e l’altro con soave impero
 D’ambrosia pasci, se gir dritto il vedi.
