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.}} | |||

{{Translation|English| | |||
Laura, if indeed you are the breeze | |||
that restores all burned hearts with sweet Love, | |||
why does my heart burn | |||
with such unusual heat? | |||
You change your habits | |||
only so that I burn, | |||
and deny being the breeze—yet you are!— | |||
so as not to refresh my spirits. | |||
Perfidious one, could you really | |||
deny me help, even to the last, | |||
refusing to believe in my harsh wound? | |||
Now enjoy my death, | |||
for I hope that, as a naked spirit, my lot | |||
is to torment that pitiless heart | |||
which did not take pity on my sorrow.}} | |||
