Pace non trovo e non ho da far guerra e temo, e spero
E ardo, e sono un ghiaccio, e volo sopra ‘l cielo e giaccio in terra
E nulla stringo tutto il mondo abbraccio.
Tal m’ha in pregion, che non m’apre nè sera nè per suo mi riten
Nè scioglie il laccio ;
E non m’ancide Amore e non mi sferra nè mi vuol vivo
Nè mi trae d’un paccio.
Veggio senz’occhi e non ho lingua e grido;
E bramo di perire, e chieggio aita;
E ho in odio me stesso, e amo altrui.
Pascomi di dolor, piangendo rido;
Egualmente mi spiace morte e vita:
In questo stato questo son, donna, per voi.
