by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)

Giunto è già 'l corso della vita mia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
   Giunto è già 'l corso della vita mia
Per tempestoso mar con fragil barca
Al comun porto , ov'a render si varca
Conto e ragion d'ogni opra trista e pia.

   Onde l'affectuosa fantasia
Che l'arte mi fece idol'e monarca
Conosco or ben com'era d'error carca,
E quel c'a mal suo grado ogni uom desia.

   Gli amorosi pensier, già vani e lieti ,
Che fien or, s'a duo morti m'avicino ?
D'una so'l certo e l'altra mi minaccia.

   Nè pinger nè scolpir fie più che quieti
L'anima, volta a quell'amor divino
C'aperse a prender noi ' n croce le braccia.
