"La vispa Teresa" it's a very well known poem here in Italy, it was written around the mid 1800's by Luigi Sailer and then there's a satirical continuation by Trilussa written in 1917.

<< La vispa Teresa
avéa tra l’erbetta
a volo sorpresa
gentil farfalletta,
e tutta giuliva
stringendola viva
gridava a distesa:
“L’ho presa, l’ho presa!” ...>>



I've caught a little butterfly with a little tatted ring, and I'm merrily shouting "I got it, I got it!"



Ciao,
