Quando Amor i belli occhi a terra inchina,
E i vaghi spirti in un sospiro accoglie
Con le sue mani, et poi in voce gli scioglie
Chiara, soave, angelica, divina,
Sento far del mio cor dolce rapina
Et si dentro cangiar penseri et voglie ch'io dico:
"Hor fien di me l'ultime spoglie
Se 'l ciel si honesta morte mi destina."

(Canzoniere, 167)
