Italian text

Quando Madonna gli amorosi sguardi,
sovente mi megat' io resto privo,
di vita enon pur moro,
sperando pur al fin quantonque tardi,
ritrovar pac' al grave mio martoro,
cons'in speme vivo,
e piu crudel ogn' hor mi vi mostrate,
e'n voi spent'e pietade,
et io sperand' e amando mi consumo,
qual cer' a'l foco, et qual al vento fumo.
