Filli, mirando il cielo

Language: Italian

Filli, mirando il cielo, 
Dicea dogliosa e 'ntanto, 
Empia di calde perle un bianco velo 

Io mi distill'in pianto, 
D'amor languisco e moro, 
Nè ritrovo pietate, o ciel, o stelle. 
Io pur son giovinetta e 'l crin ho d'oro,
E colorite e belle 
Sembran le guancie mie rose novelle.
Ahi, qual sarà 'l tormento 
Quand'havrò d'oro il volto e 'l crin d'argento?
