Whose smiles are showered on all; to whom the hours,

Brilliant alike, seem but to bring their tribute

Of emulous sweets, even as the gilded flowers

Yield up their honey to the fluttering insect.

How well for those who bask in Pleasure’s smile,

She wears a mask!

Leonardo.

But your smile is the sunlight

That banishes all gloom where’er it shines.

Fiorilla.
