Piansi un tempo
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Piansi un tempo arsi è gelai
Vissi già trà vivo è morto
Fur'd'un volto i dolci rai
Hor mia speme hor mio conforto.
Hor ch'e sciolt'il laccio indegno
Se pur ardo ardo di sdegno. 
Hor ch'e sciolt'il laccio indegno
Se pur ard'ardo di sdegno.

Ridi o cor che rotto e il laccio,
Onde ingiusto Amor mi prese,
Ridi o cor che'è fatto ghiaccio,
Quell'ardor' che si m'accese.
Piú non seguo un cor infido,
Quanto piansi hor tanto rido.

Filli sia pietosa, o rea,
Per tè piu non sia ch'io mora
Lieto sguardo non mi bea
Crudo sguardo non m'accora.
Fingi pur vezzi e parole,
Per te Filli arda chi vuole.

E chi vuol morendo viva,
Adorando il tuo sembiante
Di tè canti, e di tè scriva,
Cieco è folle un altro amante,
Scriverò, ma d'altro Nome,
Canterò, ma d'altre chiome.

Canteró con nuovi accenti,
Altro Sole, à altre Stelle,
Canteró due luci ardenti,
Men ritrose, e non men belle.

Non udrai più l canto mio,
A Dio Filli, ò Filli a Dio.
