Gran Dio! nell'ultima pietosa cena / Sul sen pasandoti, gustai la piena / Delle ineffabili tue verità. / Tu pria de'secoli, tu pria del sole / Tu l'unigenita, l'eterna prole / Sei dell'ingenita divinità. Dom. Zampieri vulgo Domenichino dip. Ignazio Pavon inc. Al signore Antonio Buonamici di Firenze amatore delle belle arti, Ignazio Pavon d.d.d.
