Italian.png Italian text

Qual si puo dir maggiore
Pianta dal ciel discesa e in terra nata.
Ch’ ambrosia dolce tanto delicata.

Ma se in un verde ramo
Si vedon le virtud' insieme a gara
Unirsi e a tutti dar vivanda rara.

Ben è forza ch'io dica,
Che dalla sue virtù altro non piove
Sol Ambrosia del Ciel detta da Giove.
