Com'arò dunche ardire
Senza vo' ma', mio ben, tenermi 'n vita,
S'io non posso al partir chiedervi aita?
Que' singulti, e que' pianti, e que' sospiri
Che 'l miser core voi accompagnorno,
Madonna, duramente dimostrorno
La mia propinqua morte e' miei martiri.
Ma se ver è che per assenzia mai
Mia fedel servitù vadia in oblio,
Il cor lasso con voi, che non è mio.
