Description: Popular song at the Sicilian court of Alphonsus V of Aragon. It is a parody of the moral lauda by the Florentine poet Feo Belcari (1410 - 1484) Haggio visto il cieco mundo, sung on the same tune. It survives in some manuscripts, with a few differences in the text and the melody. The lyrics are probably transcribed by not Sicilian speakers.
