by Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321)
Piangete, amanti, poi che piange Amore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Piangete, amanti, poi che piange Amore, udendo qual cagion lui fa plorare. Amor sente a Pietà donne chiamare, mostrando amaro duol per li occhi fore, perché villana Morte in gentil core ha miso il suo crudele adoperare, guastando ciò che al mondo è da laudare in gentil donna sovra de l’onore. Audite quanto Amor le fece orranza, ch’io ’l vidi lamentare in forma vera sovra la morta imagine avvenente; e riguardava ver lo ciel sovente, ove l’alma gentil già locata era, che donna fu di sì gaia sembianza.
