Femmisi inanzi Amor
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Femmisi inanzi Amor la Donna mia In pietoso sembiante honesta e bella, Quel era il dí ch'ella mi piacque pria, E io la salutai, ed io la salutai. Ma per ria sorte Essa qual Cerv' assai leggier' e snella Prese disdegno sett' a fuggir forte. All' hor io mosso per seguir la corsi, Sperand' in sin ch'un nugolett' intorno La ricoverse, ond' io lasso m'accorsi, Ch'ella fu tua messagia a far mi scorno.
