The Ancient Carnival

[Immagine di una coppia in maschera]La stagion del Carnovale
tutto il Mondo fa cambiar.
Chi sta bene e chi sta male
Carnevale fa rallegrar.

Chi ha denari se li spende;
chi non ne ha ne vuol trovar;
e s'impegna, e poi si vende,
per andarsi a sollazzar.

Qua la moglie e là il marito,
ognuno va dove gli par;
ognun corre a qualche invito,
chi a giocare e chi a ballar.

Firma di Carlo Goldoni
