Quand'ero paggio del Duca di Norfolk, Falstaff's aria from Falstaff

Quand'ero paggio del Duca di Norfolk ero sottile,
Ero un miraggio vago, leggiero, gentile.
Quello era il tempo del mioi verde aprile,
Quello era il tempo del mio lieto Maggio.
Tant'era smilzo, flessibile e snello
Che sarei guizzato attraverso un anello.
