Fra piu bei fiori che mai creass'il cielo
Havea teso madonn'un laccio d'oro
E coperto il tenea di varie frondi
Ond'io ch'agliocchi havea d'amor'il velo
Corsi per corre'l fior ch'io sol honoro
E stendendo la man non viddi d'onde
Cosi mi cinse'al coll'un forte laccio
Ch'a rimembrar l'ogn'hor trem'et agghiaccio.
