Datime a piena mano e rose e zigli,
Spargeti intorno a me viole e fiori,
Ciascun che meco pianse e mei dolori,
Di mia leticia meco il frutto pigli.

Datime e fiori e candidi e vermigli:
Confano a questo giorno 
e bei colori; 
Spargeti intorno d'amorosi odori,
Chè il loco a la mia voglia se assumigli.
Perdon m'ha datto et hami dato pace

La dolce mia nemica, e vuol ch'io campi.
Lei che sol di pietà se pregia e vanta.
Non vi maravigliati
perch'io avampi,
Chè maraviglia è più che non se sface
il cor in tutto d'alegreza tanta.
