Examples

  • These serenades are, for the most part, given by a lover or friend to his _innamorata_, and the words are expressive of the tender passion; but there are also _serenate di gelosia_, or satirical serenades, when the most impertinent and stinging verses are sung.

    The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 03, No. 18, April, 1859 Various

  • These were the "serenate publiche," common and commercial affairs, which the private serenata left behind in contempt, steering past their flaring lights for the dark waters of romance which lay beyond.

    The Marriage of William Ashe Humphry Ward 1885
