by Benedetto Ferrari (c1603 - 1681)

Eccovi il cor oh bella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Eccovi il cor oh bella
feritel pur con l'una e l'altra stella
e s'il suo fin vi spiace
lasciatelo morir ch'ei more in pace.

Femina nel mirare
può far delle dolcezze al ciel volare
occhi scoccate il telo,
fatemi venir men, ch'io vado al cielo.

Simili ai dolci favi
provo i colpi, in mirarvi, e piu soavi,
l'esser da voi anciso
e come vita haver in paradiso.

L'anima sol m'offende,
ch'ad ogni volto il tempo insidie tende;
Lilla, habbi senno; al fine
ogni vago giardin copron le brine.
