Dolcissimo sospiro
Ch'esci da quella bocca
Ove d'amor ogni dolcezza fiocca;
Deh, vieni a raddolcire
L'amaro mio dolore.
Ecco, ch'io t'apro il core,
Ma, folle, a chi ridico il mio martire?
Ad'un sospiro errante
Che forse vola in sen ad altro amante.

    Set to music by Giulio Caccini (1546 - 1618), "Dolcissimo sospiro", published 1601, from Le nuove musiche, no. 3
