1  Se ben l'ardor ch'io sento
Ecced'ogni tormento,
Rivedend'il mio bene,
Cessaran i sospir, gl'affanni e pene.

2  Se ben l'empio dolore
M'affligge a tutte l'hore,
Rivedend'il bel viso
L'Infern'ov'hora io son, sia un Paradiso.

3  Se ben l'ardente foco
M'abbruggia a poco a poco,
Rivedendo la fiamma
Scemarò l'ardor che m'ard'e infiamma.

4  Ma se l'empia mia sorte,
Per darmi eterna morte,
Fa ch'ella d'altrui sia,
D'ogni altra sia maggior la pena mia.
