Fa la fanciulla quel, che detto l'hanno ; l'ignote voci & benche stia sospesa ; per la gran nouità, pur d'ogni panno ; ignuda è tutta à ben lavarsi intesa ; i piei la testa & de gli odor, che stanno ; nel vaso s'unge, & entrar non le pesa ; dopo il piacer de l'ungersi, & lavarsi ; nele morbide piume à ristorarsi ; A.V. ; Ant. Sal. exc.
