"Ma non lungi di là sotto alta rupe | pastorelli a guardar la gregge intesi, | tutta in pio ragionar traean la notte; | quando del ciel dalla serena parte | fragor levossi e splendor nuovo apparve; | e stuol vedeasi su lucente nube | di sembianze celesti alto appressarse, | sorvolitando per gli eterei tratti. | Istupidiro, e le tremanti membra | irrigidì dello spavento il gelo. | Ma voce udir di riconforto e pace | alto sonar: Non trepidate, o buoni, | lungi ogni tema; l'ammirando, e grande | gaudio annunziam, che voi non sol, ma tutti | lieti farà ne' secoli venturi | della terra gli afflitti abitatori."
