O rossignuol ch'in queste verdi fronde sovra 'l fugace rio fermar ti suoli, e forse a qualche noia ora t'involi dolce cantando al suon de le roche onde; alterna teco in not'alt'e profonde la tua compagna, e par che ti consoli. A me, perch'io mi strugga e pianti e duoli versi ad ognor, nissun già mai risponde, né di mio danno si sospira o geme. E te s'un dolor preme, può ristorar un altro piacer vivo, ma io d'ogni mio ben son cass'e privo.
