Qual fia rimedio al duol,
Che far mi deggio
s'io miro ho male,
e s'io non miro ho peggio,
lei che rapendo il cor Bianca mia stella,
Rotava i raggi suoi lucent'e bella,
Sentei volando uscir del petto fuore,
Ahi vita trista e frale,
Ogni speme di bene eterno ardore,
A lei successe hor nulla giov'al male,
Miro ò non miro,
Ond'io posso ben dire,
Che maggior mal si prova che'l morire.
