Alcun non mi consigli
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Alcun non mi consigli,
se ben il cor perdei,
ch'abbandonai colei
ch'è la mia vita, ancor che cruda e fera:
che se ben vuol ch'io pera
e che la speme mia ne port'il vento,
non me n'adiro, no,
non me ne doglio, no, non me ne pento.

Ben s'affatica invano
chi m'addita il mio male;
e 'l contrastar non vale
che beltà, ch'è severa, un cor diletta.
Sì dolce è la saetta
che, se ben brama il cor fiamma e tormento,
non me n'adiro, no,
non me ne doglio, no, non me ne pento.

Perché lo stral di morte
esce dagl'occhi belli,
perché gl'aurei capelli
son la cantena e quel tenace nodo
in cui stretto mi godo,
e perché se le piace il mio lamento,
non me n'adiro, no,
non me ne doglio, no, non me ne pento.
