Flora di vaghi fiori il crine adorno,
Con zefiro soave unita all'hora,
Vestiva i colli e le campagne intorno,
Quando la mia vezzosa altera Aurora,
Ferimmi il cor se ben lontan si stava,
Alla dolc'ombra delle belle fronde,
Per la profonda e cava,
Ferita che'l mio cor sempre confonde,
Cosi gridai ch'ogn'antr'et ogni sasso,
Risuon' ancor: Io son ferito ahi lasso.
