Che debbo far
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Che debbo far, che mi consigli, amore? Volgi a me gli occhi, i miei sospiri ascolta. Guai sono stati gli anni e i giorni e le ore a seguitar costei che in fuga è volta. Morte o mercé sia fin al mio dolore. Rendimi, se esser può, libera e sciolta l'alma, d'ogni suo ben spogliata e priva, che sospirando va di riva in riva.
This text shares a similar first line with Petrarca's Canzone CCLXVIII.
