Pianget'egri mortali Piangete I aspra morte del Signore Se spirto di pieta vi pong'il core Volgete gl'occhi' in qua c'hoggi dimostra Non quella form'hoime non quel colore Che finge fors'i sens'in mente vostra Vedet'il volt'esangue Le chiome lacerate il capo basso Qual rosa che calcata in terra langue O mirabil pietà, o dolce pegno O sacr'o santo sangue Si largamente spars'al duro legno O rar'o nuova legge Humiliars'a mort'accerb'e dura Quel chel ciel e la terr'e'l mar corregge Piangi mond'orbo, piang'egra natura Mort'é'l pastor per liberar lo gregge Com'agnel mansueto alla tonsura.
