===Francesco Artico===
The following is a contemporary text by [[Francesco Artico]]. The elderly narrator is recalling the church choir singers of his youth, who, needless to say, sang much better than those of today 
[https://www.artico.name/tornen/s_santa.htm (see the full original text with audio)]:

{{verse translation
|{{lang|vec|Sti cantori vèci da na volta,
co i cioéa su le profezie,
in mezo al coro, davanti al restèl,
co'a ose i 'ndéa a cior volta
no so 'ndove e ghe voéa un bèl tóc
prima che i tornésse in qua
e che i rivésse in cao,
màssima se i jèra pareciàdi onti
co mezo litro de quel bon
tant par farse coràjo.}}
|These old singers of the past,
when they picked up the Prophecies,
in the middle of the choir, in front of the twelve-branched candelabrum,
with their voice they went off
who knows where, and it was a long time
before they came back
and landed on the ground,
especially if they had been previously 'oiled'
with half a litre of the good one [wine]
just to make courage.
