by Ansaldo Cebà (1565 - 1622)

Giovinetta ritrosetta
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Giovinetta ritrosetta
che'l mi' amor ti prendi a gioco
mira mira
come spira
ne miei versi il tuo bel fuoco.

Vedi come
l'auree chiome
tocca il vento e le divide
che miei rai
tu vedrai
come l'oro in sen ti ride.

Dunque amore
del tuo core
levi almen tanta durezza
poi che 'l vanto
del mio canto
pur nel' nome tuo s'apprezza.
