Sì come ai freschi matutini rai
Rosa vermiglia in bianchi gigli splende
Così la vostra man quando si stende
Ai lumi dolci e gai,
Se non che quella si disfiora e solve
Tosto ch’el sol si volve,
Ma la man vostra ha più vaghezza sempre
De l’amorose tempre,
Di que’ begl’occhi ond’è il mio cor di polve.
Ben essi fan ch’ei si distrugg’e stempre
In foco tal che venga cenere
Pria ch’il foco in lui si spenga.
