by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)

Chi è quel che per forza a te mi mena
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Chi è quel che per forza a te mi mena
Legato e stretto , e son libero e sciolto ?
Se tu incateni altrui senza catena,
E d'invisibil laccio il cor m' hai ' nvolto ,
Chi mi difenderà dal tuo bel volto ,
Chi dal vivo splendore
Degli occhi onde saetta armato Amore?
