Italian.png Italian text

 Laura, se pur sei l'aura
 Ch'ogn' arso cor d’Amor dolce ristaura,
 Come sì m'arde il core
 D'inusitato ardore?
 Ahi, che cangi costume
 Sol perch' io mi consume
 E neghi d'esser l'aura e Laura sei,
 Per non refrigerar gli spirti miei.

 Perfida, pur potesti,
 Negarmi ancor in sù l'estremo aita,
 Non dando fede a l'aspra mia ferita?
 Hor godi di mia morte
 Ch'io spero ignudo spirto, haver in sorte
 Di tormentar quel dispietato core
 Che non hebbe pietà del mio dolore.
