Italian text

Era'l bel viso suo qual esser suole
Da prima ver'alcuna volt'il cielo
Quando la pioggia cade e'a un temp'il sole
Si sgombr'intorn'il nubiloso velo
E come'il Rosignuol dolci carole
Mena nei rami'alhor del verde stelo
Così'alle belle lagrime le piume
Si bagn'amore e gode al chiaro lume.
