by Gabriello Chiabrera (1552 - 1638)

Soave libertate
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Soave libertate,
già per sì lunga etate
mia cara compagnia,
chi da te mi disvia?
O Dea desiata
e da me tanto amata,
ove ne vai veloce?
Lasso, che ad alta voce
in van ti chiamo e piango:
tu fuggi, ed io rimango
stretto in belle catene
d'altre amorose pene
e d'altro bel desìo:
addio, per sempre addio!
