Italian text
Dolcissimo ben mio
Io pur mi parto a Dio
Ma nel partir almeno
Fa ch’io mi porti
La tua imago in seno.
Ch’io passerò le pene
Mirando ivi il mio bene
Che si nobil fattura
Dubbierò se si aviva
Oppur pittura.
E da si dolce inganno
Questo i miei spirti avranno
Che i color finti e adorni
Mi daran vita fin che a te ritorni.
