by Giovanni Battista Guarini (1538 - 1612)

Amor, i' parto
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Amor, i' parto e sento nel partire
Al penar, al morire, 
Ch'io parto da colei ch'è la mia vita. 
[Ma che vita diss'io, se]1 ben ella gioisce
Quando il mio cor languisce? 
O durezza incredibile e infinita
D'anima, ch'll suo core 
Può lasciar morto. e non sentir dolore.

Ben mi trafigge, Amore, 
L'aspra mia pena, il mio dolor pungente;
Ma più mi duol'il duol ch'ella non sente.
