O dolc'anima mia, dunqu’è pur vero,
Che cambiando pensiero,
Per altrui m’abbandoni?
Se cerchi, un cuor, che più t’adori,
ed ami,
Ingiustamente brami.
Se cerchi lealtà, mira che fede,
Amar quando altrui doni
La mia cara mercede
E la sperata tua dolce pietà.
Ma se cerchi beltà,
Non mirar me, cor mio, mira te
stessa
In questo volto, in questo cuore impressa.
