(Cupid and Psyche - Mythology)

 

"La madre e 'l Re di lagrime si bagnano Col popolo suo coverti a negro manto Ma pur soura il feretro l'accompagnano Al luogo detto da l'oracol santo, Quasi morta fusse allhor si lagnano Contorci innazi,

et flebil suono, et canto, Giunti del monte ne la parte estrema, La lascian sola con dolore e tema".
