Sorgeva in fertile /piano campestre/
un infruttifero olmo silvestre,/che come inutile/
tronco malnato,/ vivea tra gli alberi/ inonorato.
Pur mentre ei povero/ stassi, ed abbietto,/ la sorte cangia/
per lui d'aspetto:/ il cultor rustico/ l'olmo destina/
sostegno a giovine / vite vicina.
(Giovanni Gherardo de Rossi)
