by Antonio Ongaro (1569 - 1599)

Fiume, ch'a l'onde tue ninfe e pastori
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Fiume, ch'a l'onde tue ninfe e pastori,
Inviti con soave mormorio, 
Col cui consiglio il suo bel crin vid' io
Spesso Fillide mia cinger di fiori: 
S'a tuoi cristalli in sugl'estivi ardori
Sovente accrebbi lagrimando un rio,
Mostrami per pietà l'idolo mio 
Nel tuo fugace argento ond' io l'honori. 
Ahi, tu me 'l nieghi: io credea crudi I mari, 
I fiumi no: ma tu da lo splendore 
Ch'in te si specchia ad esser crudo impari, 
Prodigo a te del pianto, a lei del core, 
Fui lasso e sono, e voi mi siete avari, 
Tu della bella imago, ella d'amore.
