One for Euphrantè, young and fair,

With the sparkling eye and the raven hair.

Then I love Lycidicè more, you say?

By this foaming goblet I say ye nay.

More valued than ten is Euphrantè to me,

For, as when the heavens unclouded be,

And the stars are crowding far and nigh

On the deep deep blue of the midnight sky,

The moon is still brighter and lovelier far

Than the loveliest planet or brightest star;
