by Giordano Bruno (1548 - 1600)

Unico augel del sol, vaga Fenice
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Unico augel del sol, vaga Fenice, 
Ch'appareggi col mondo gli anni tui, 
Quai colmi ne l'Arabia felice,
Tu sei chi fuste, io son quel che non fui. 
Io per caldo d'amor muoio infelice; 
Ma te ravviv'il sol co' raggi sui.
Tu bruggi 'n un, ed io in ogni loco; 
Io da Cupido, hai tu da Febo il foco. 

Hai termini prefissi 
Di lunga vita, e io ho breve fine, 
Che pronto s'offre per mille ruine; 
Né so quel che vivrò, né quel che vissi: 
Me cieco fato adduce, 
Tu certo torni a riveder tua luce.
