by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)

Dal dolce pianto al doloroso riso
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
  Dal dolce pianto al doloroso riso,
da una etterna a una corta pace
caduto son: là dove ’l ver si tace,
soprasta ’l senso a quel da lui diviso.
  Né so se dal mie core o dal tuo viso
la colpa vien del mal, che men dispiace
quante più cresce, o dall’ardente face
de gli occhi tuo rubati al paradiso.
  La tuo beltà non è cosa mortale,
ma fatta su dal ciel fra noi divina;
ond’io perdendo ardendo mi conforto,
  c’appresso a te non esser posso tale.
Se l’arme il ciel del mie morir destina,
chi può, s’i’ muoio, dir c’abbiate il torto?
