This foolish love was only day's first offer;

I choose my next love to defy the scoffer:

For do not our Bride and Bridegroom sally

Out of Possagno church at noon?

Their house looks over Orcana valley:

Why should not I be the bride as soon

As Ottima? For I saw, beside,

Arrive last night that little bride—

Saw, if you call it seeing her, one flash

Of the pale snow-pure cheek and black bright tresses,
