Musa, Amor porta novella

Musa, Amor porta novella Ch’é per me piena di pene. Amarillide mia bella Ha ria febbre entro le vene, E dal fior de la bellezza Sta lontana ogn’allegrezza. O Melpomene diletta, Spiega l’ali tue dorate Là, ve l’egra giovinetta Mena in doglia le giornate; E di canto falso, o vero Rasserena il suo pensiero. In tua man sono i tesori Di Castilia, e d’Elicona; Sai di Giove i tanti amori, Sai che ’l cielo egli abbandona, E per farne il suo desio Ei trasforma la bella Io.
