Quant voi la rose espanir Contre la douce seison, Qe chantent cil oisellon Au tens que voient radoucir: Adone pens et puis soupir, Qant de ce qe plus desir Ne puis ioir Ne mon voloir acomplir. Deus por qoi mi fet languir Cele a la clere façon Por cui soupir! Bien voi q'il m'estuet mourir, Se ie par li n'ai guerison.

Ohimé, se tanto amate di sentir dir Ohimè, deh perché fate chi dice Ohimè morire? S'io moro un sol potrete languido, e doloroso Ohimè sentire; Ma se, cor mio, [vorrete]1 che vita [habb'io]2 da voi, e voi da me, avrete mille e mille dolci Ohimè.

S'andasse Amor a caccia, Grechin a lass'avria per suo diletto e de le damme seguiria la traccia, ché vago pargoletto è questo come quello e leggiadrett'e bello. Vezzosetto Grechino, se pur vol tuo destino ch'egli sia cacciatore, prendi costei mentr'ella fugge Amore.
