Rispetto
The rispetto lyric is generally composed of (two quatrains), eight hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) lines. Early on the rhyme scheme was usually abababcc , but ababccdd is now more prominent.
Sol's the personification of the sun,
a sun-god once worshiped by ancient Romans.
In the Circus Maximus, races were run,
as Sol's temple priests interrupted omens.
Sol’s chariot ignites the east edge of night,
with a ball of fire and beams of brilliant light.
The giver of life, Sol’s a resplendent god,
and yet, though sculpted in marble, he is flawed.
