Donna, da vostri sguardi
Escon pungenti dardi
E da begl'occhi amor prende diletto,
Di trafiggermi ognor con essi il petto.

E s’io le belle chiome
Vengo a mirar, ahi come
Da duro laccio, anzi catene forte
Stringer mi sento il cor vicino a morte.

Ma da la dolce bocca
Se fuor la voce scocca,
A formar le parole, in un momento
D’inestinguibil foco arder mi sento.

O Dio che dolce gioco,
Dardi, catene, e foco,
Mi dan gl’occhi, le trecce, e le parole,
E dolor sento, che così Amor vuole.
