Tutto lo giorno piango, hoime meschino, E poi la note, quando sto a dormire, M’appar’ in songno chi mi fa’ morire, Altier’ e bell’ e con volto divino, Con dard’ in man’, e con arc’ e saetta, Come guerriera che vuol far vendetta: Et io, tremendo, m’inchino avant’ ella Con occhi bassi, et le dico piangendo: “Non m’amazzar crudel, ch’io sto dormendo.” E essa all’ hor piu bell’ e piu crudella Diventa e par che cossi dica forte: “O veglio dorm’io ti daro la morte.”
