Io amai sempre e amo forte anchora
Et son per amar più di giorno in giorno
Quel dolce loco ove piangendo torno
Spesse fiate quando amor m’accora
Et son fermo d’amar’il tempo et l’hora
Ch’ogni vil cura mi levar d’intorno
Et più colei, lo cui bel viso adorno
Di ben far co’ suoi e sempli m’innamora.

Ma chi pensò veder mai tutti insieme
per assalirmi il core, or quindi or quinci,
questi dolci nemici, ch'i' tant'amo?
Amor, con quanto sforzo oggi mi vinci!
Et se non ch'al desio cresce la speme,
i' cadrei morto, ove più viver bramo.
