Mille fiate o dolce mia guerrera,
Per haver co' begli occhi vostre pace,
V'haggio profert' il cor m'a voi non piace,
Mirar si basso con lamente altera,

Et se di lui fors' altra donna spera,
Vive in speranza debil' et fallace,
Mio perche sdegno cio ch'a voi dispiace,
Esser non puo giamai cosi com' era.

Or s'io lo scaccio, et e' non trova in voi
ne l'exilio infelice alcun soccorso,
né sa star sol, né gire ov'altri il chiama,

poria smarrire il suo natural corso:
che grave colpa fia d'ambeduo noi,
et tanto piú de voi, quanto piú v'ama.
