Guido, I wisEh that you and Lapo and I
Could be taken by magicB and placed in a boat
Where every rising swEell
Would sweep us at our will acrBoss the sky

Then tempest neEver, or weather dire
Could ever make our blisBsful living cease
No, but abiding in a steaEdy, blessed peace
TogethBer in harmony

To make those ladiBes happy in the sky
With LEapo enchanted too, and yoBu and I
