Che fai tu, Eco, mentre io ti chiamo?
Amo.
Ami tu due, o pur un solo?
Un solo.
Ed io te solo, e non altri amo
Altri amo.
Dunque non ami tu un solo?
Un solo.
[Questo è un dirmi:  I' non t'amo.
I' non t'amo]1.
Quel che tu ami, amil' tu solo?
Solo.
Chi t'ha levato dal mio amore?
Amore.
Che fa quello a chi porti amore?
Ah, more.
