Qualor più vive in pace
sicuro chi v’adora,
sorga uno sdegno allora
da facile cagion;
e quella fiamma fervida,
che per voi l’arde e l’agita,
più viva e più sollecita
cresca col suo timor.

Innocenzo Frugoni
“L’isola amorosa” (1758)

“Venere disarma Amore” (1751)

ἀλλὰ πολὺ ἔχω πλανηθεῖ, κι ἔχω πολὺ ἁμαρτήσει
