Sovente all’or che su gl’estivi ardori
Giacean le pecorelle all’ombr’assise
Nella scorza de’ faggi e degl’allori
Segnò l’almato nom’ in mille guise
E de suoi strani ed infelici amori
Gl’aspri successi in mille piant’incise
E in rileggendo poi le proprie note
Rigò di belle lagrime le gote.
Poscia dicea piangendo: In voi serbate
Questa dolente istoria amiche piante
Perchè se fia ch’alle vostr’ombre grate
Giammai soggiorni alcun fedele amante
Senta svegliarsi al cor dolce pietate
Delle sventure mie sì varie e tante:
E dica: Ahi tropp’ in giust’empia mercede
Diè fortuna ed amore a sì gran fede!
