O saette d'amor ch'a mille a mille,
Quinci movete e non vi s'ha alcun scampo,
Folgorando a l'uscir quelle faville,
Ond'io dentr'e di fuor ardo et avampo,
Felice che da voi si trov'in mille
Parti ferito, e da si chiaro lampo,
Acceso il cor poi che senza ch'ei muoia,
Prova come si muor di troppa gioia.
