Mille volte il dì

Mille volte il dì moro, E voi, empi sospiri, Non fate, oimè, che in sospirando io spiri? E tu, alma crudele, se il mio duolo T'affligge sì, che non ten' fuggi a volo? Ahi, che sol Morte al mio duol aspro e rio Divien pietosa e ancide il viver mio! Così dunque i sospiri e l'alma mia Sono ver me spietati e Morte pia.
