Io dico che fra voi potenti dei
convien ch'ogni rivero si sopporti,
poiché sarete morti
di mill' ingiurie e torti
amando te com' or di lei tu ardi
farne potrai giustamente vendetta.
Ahimè lasso ahimè chi pur tropp' aspetta
chi giunge a suoi conforti tanto tardi
ancor se ben riguardi
un generos' alter' e nobil core
perdon' e port' a chi l'offend' amore.
