Rugiadose odorose violette graziose,
Voi vi state vergognose,
Mezzo ascose fra le foglie,
E sgridate le mie voglie,
Che son troppo ambiziose

Dewy, fragrant, charming violets,
you stand there modestly,
half hidden among the leaves,
And ridicule my wishes
Which are too ambitious 

Poem by Adriano Morselli (1679–1691)
