Lasso, dicea Fileno

"Lasso", dicea Fileno
alla sua bella Clori: 
"Tu mi dicesti: 'mori!';
ed io per tuo contento
or di morir consento. 

Ecco ch'io movo in ver la morte il passo
e m'involo al sereno 
del dì, del sol, dei tuoi fulgenti rai.
Più on mi rivedrai. 

Ma ben ti seguirò di vita casso,
nudo spirto, ombra errante:
nemico sì, come or ti son amante".
