Come cantar poss'io,
D'amor se sdegno ne' begl'occh'havete,
Deh, se del canto mio si vaga sete,
Mentr'accordo la voce e l'intelletto,
Al suon del vostro detto,
Il vostro detto voi donn'accordate,
Con la vostra beltate,
Ch'io non posso cantar cruda se'l canto,
Mi comanda la lingua e gl'occh'il pianto.
