La cruda mia nemica,
del mio dolor si pasce e si nutrica,
perchè tal'hor si pia
la veggio al mio languire
che parmi udirla dire:
«Spera ch'in breve finirà il tormento.»

E poscia in un momento,
veggendomi contento,
mi si mostra sì ria,
ch'ancide il fior de la speranza mia;
ond'è forza ch'io dica:
La cruda mia nemica,
del mio dolor si pasce e si nutrica.
