by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)
Fuggite, amanti, Amor, fuggite ’l foco
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Fuggite, amanti, Amor, fuggite ’l foco; l’incendio è aspro e la piaga è mortale, c’oltr’a l’impeto primo più non vale né forza né ragion né mutar loco. Fuggite, or che l’esemplo non è poco d’un fiero braccio e d’un acuto strale; leggete in me, qual sarà ’l vostro male, qual sarà l’impio e dispietato gioco. Fuggite, e non tardate, al primo sguardo: ch’i’ pensa’ d’ogni tempo avere accordo; or sento, e voi vedete, com’io ardo.
O. Neuwirth sets lines 1-8
