Occhi, un tempo mia vita,
Occhi, di questo cor dolci sostegni,
Voi mi negate aita?
Questi son ben della mia morte i segni.
Non più speme, o conforto.
Tempo è sol di morir, a che più tardo?
Occhi, ch’a sì gran torto
Morir mi fate, a che torcete il guardo?
Forse per non mirar come v'adoro?
Mirate almen ch'io moro.
