Italian.png Italian text

La vita fugge, et non s'arresta una hora,
et la morte vien dietro a gran giornate,
et le cose presenti et le passate
mi dànno guerra, et le future anchora;

e 'l rimembrare et l'aspettar m'accora,
or quinci or quindi, sí che 'n veritate,
se non ch'i' ò di me stesso pietate,
i' sarei già di questi penser' fòra.

Canzoniere 272, first two stanzas.
