by Jacopo da Lentini (d. 1246)

Avendo Gran Disio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Avendo gran disio 
dipinsi una pintura
bella a voi somigliante
e quando voi non vio 
guardo in quella figura 
e par ch'eo v'agia avante.

Al cor m'arde una doglia 
com' om che ten, lo foco
a lo suo seno ascoso 
che quanto più lo'n voglia
allor' arde più loco
e non può stare in chiuso.

Similmente eo ardo
quando passo e non guardo 
a voi Viso amoroso.
S'i scite quando passo 
in ver, voi non mi giro
bella per risguardare 
andando ad ogni passo
gittane un suspiro
che mi facie andosciare
e certo bene ancoscio
ch'a pena mi conoscio
tanto bella mi pari
