Gamblers cry "Wafna! wafna!" in a section of this work sung by the drunken "Abbot of Cockaigne", while its penultimate section compares the "rose of the world" to Blanchefleur and Helen. This work, the Trionfo di Afrodite, and a setting of poems by Catullus make up its composer's triptych Trionfi. In the second aria from its "In the (*) Tavern" section, a tenor sings entirely in falsetto to express the feelings of a swan being roasted. Its movements include "Veni, veni, venias" and two which refer to a certain goddess as "Empress of the World".
