by Gabriello Chiabrera (1552 - 1638)

Damigella tutta bella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Damigella
tutta bella
versa versa quel bel vino,
fa che cada
la rugiada
distillata di rubino.

Ho nel seno
rio veneno
che vi sparse Amor profondo
ma gittarlo
e lasciarlo
vo' sommerso in questo fondo.

Damigella
tutta bella
di quel vin tu non mi satii
fa che cada
la rugiada
distillata da topatii.

Nova fiamma
più m'infiamma
arde il cor foco novello
se mia vita
non s'aita
ah ch'io vengo un Mongibello!

Ma più fresca
ogn' hor cresca
dentro me sì fatta arsura
consumarmi
e disfarmi
per tal modo ho per ventura.
