Lagrime amare
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Lagrime amare all'anima che langue
Soccorrete pietose il dente rio
Già v'impresse d'inferno il crudel angue
E mortifera piaga ohimè, v'aprio.

Ben vuol sanarla il Redentore esangue
Ma indarno sparso il pretioso rio
Sarà per lei di quel beato sangue
Senza il doglioso humor del pianto mio.

Su dunque amare lagrime correte
A gl'occhi ogn'or da questo cor pentito
Versate pur che di voi sole ho sete.

Se tanto il liquor vostro è in Ciel gradito
Dirò di voi che voi quell'acque sete
Ch'uscir col sangue da Giesù ferito.
