Sarà ver ch’io mai disciolga
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sarà ver ch’io mai disciolga 
da’ tuoi lacci, Amor, il piè 
e che l’anima si volga 
a servir altri che te. 
Prima volgasi 
in martire 
il gioire, 
prima sciolgasi 
ogni affetto 
dal mio petto, 
o prima col morir l’alma si scioglia, 
ch’assai peggio che morte è ‘l cangiar voglia. 
Sarà ver che del tuo foco 
il mio cor non arda più 
e lo stral si prenda a gioco 
ond’il sen piagato fu? 
Prima impiaghimi 
duro strale di rivale, 
prima allaghimi 
da per tutto 
fero lutto, 
o giunga del morir l’ultima doglia, 
ch’assai peggio che morte è ‘l cangiar voglia.!
