A madrigal relates to the same theme.
[VI]
PER NON S’AVERE A RIPIGLIAR DA TANTI
That perfectness of beauty free from peer
Might be reclaimed and garnered without fail,
Upon a lady excellently clear
Was it bestowed beneath a shining veil;
The heavenly boon had hardly been repaid,
If scattered among all that Heaven had made.
