Questi capelli d'oro
  Per cui rinasco e' moro
  Quand'i veggio ondeggiar alaer chiaro
  Io benedico il di che mi legaro.

E questo vago viso
  Quest'occhi, e'l dolce riso
  Quand'i veggio apparir nel suo splendore
  Io benedico il di m'arse Amore

Questi rubini e perle
  Ch'io moro per verderle
  Quando l'apri el cantar le moui al riso
  Io benedito il di che m'hanno veciso

E questi guancie belle
  Che aventano fiammelle
  Mentr'io veggio ardermi sento il core
  Ma la dolcezza supera l'ardore
