Morirò!

Qual fiorellin novello che all'aura spande il suo soave odor
E il verde praticello adorna solo un giorno, e poi s'en muor
Cosi la vita mia qui sulla terra breve passerà
E il cor la pena ria, figlia d'amor non mai ti narrerà.
Morirò come il fiore
Dopo aver l'aura piena di sospir
Ma lieto pur in core
Di non aver turbato il tuo gioir
E quando in breve, oh Dio
D'amor consunto e di dolor sarò
Mandando e te ben mio l'ultimo mio sospiro
Morirò!
