Fior scoloriti e pallide viole,
che si suavemente il vento move,
vostra Madonna dove è gita?
e dove è gito il Sol,
che alluminarvi sole?

Nostra Madonna se ne gí col Sole
che ognor ce apriva di belleze nove,
e, poichè tanto ben' è gito altrove,
mostramo aperto, quanto ce ne dole.

Fior sfortunati e viole infelici
abandonati dal divino ardore,
Che vi infondeva vista si serena.

Tu dici il vero,
e nul ne le radici sentiamo il danno;
e tu sentinel core la perdita
che nosco al fin ti mena.
Guai!
