Mentre la prima mia novella etade
Diede al foco d'amor esca più verde
Onde erano e sospiri assai men caldi
Vidi ne bei vostri occhi honesti e baldi
Alcun raggio ver me pur di pietade.
Ma hor che l'età perde
L'ho posto ad infiamarsi altra virtute
Senza haver speme, ahi lasso, di salute
Da bei lucenti rai
Sento nel foco, ahimè, gli estremi guai.
