The second part of this volume includes 10 of his poems. The book was published in Rome in 1618. Budi carefully used the vernacular, enriching it with new words.

At the end of the work, he wrote: <i>&#8220;Autor dono dedit Bibliothecae Vaticanae. 29 Ianuarii 1622&#8221;<\/i> (&#8220;<i>The author has given it as a gift to the Vatican Library.
