Com'arò dunche ardire Senza vo' ma', mio ben, tenermi 'n vita, S'io non posso al partir chiedervi aita? Que' singulti, e que' pianti, e que' sospiri Che 'l miser core voi accompagnorno, Madonna, duramente dimostrorno La mia propinqua morte e' miei martiri. Ma se ver è che per assenzia mai Mia fedel servitù vadia in oblio, Il cor lasso con voi, che non è mio.

Дерзну ль, сокровище моё, Существовать без вас, себе на муку, Раз глухи вы к мольбам смягчить разлуку? Унылым сердцем больше не таю Ни возгласов, ни вздохов, ни рыданий, Чтоб вам явить, мадонна, гнёт страданий И смерть уж недалёкую мою; Но дабы рок потом моё служенье Изгнать из вашей памяти не мог, – Я оставляю сердце вам в залог.
