Per questo mio specifico Simpatico, prolifico,  
Un uom settuagenario E valetudinario,
Nonno di dieci bamboli Ancora diventò,  
Per questo “Tocca e sana” In breve settimana  
Più d’un’afflitta vedova Di piangere cessò.
O voi matrone rigide, Ringiovanir bramate ?
Le vostre rughe incomode Con esso cancellate.  
Volete voi donzelle, Ben liscia aver la pelle ?  
Voi giovani galanti Per sempre avere amanti ?  
Comprate il mio specifico, Per poco io ve lo do.

Dulcamara, L'elisir d'amore
