Com'arò dunche ardire

Language: Italian

Com'arò dunche ardire
senza vo' ma', mio ben, tenermi 'n vita,
s'io non posso al partir chiedervi aita?
Que' singulti e que' pianti, e que' sospiri
che 'l miser core voi accompagnorno,
Madonna, duramente dimostrorno
la mia propinqua morte e' miei martiri.
Ma se ver è che per assenzia mai
mia fedel servitù vadia in oblio,
il cor lasso con voi, che non è mio.
