Crud'Amarilli, che col nom'ancora
D'amar, ahi lasso! amaramente insegni,
Amarilli, del candido ligustro
Più candida più bella,
Ma de l'àspido sordo 
E più sorda più fèra e più fugace,
Poi che col dir t'offendo,
i' mi morrò tacendo. 

Ma grideran per me le piagge e i monti
E questa selva, a cui 
Sì spesso li tuo bel nome
Di risonar insegno. 
Per me piangendo i fonti
E mormorando i venti,
Diranno i miei lamenti;
Parlerà nel mie volto
La pietate e 'l dolore; 
E se fia muta ogn'altra cosa, al fine
Parlerà il mio morire, 
E ti dirà la morte il mio martire.
