Canzon discapigliata va'piangendo

Language: Italian

Canzon discapigliata va'piangendo,
Rompendo ogni durezza di cor duro;
Dì che nostra natura
Ritorna, e si converte pure in terra;
Ma spirto, che non erra,
La sciagura,
Che l'anima, ch'è pura,
Ritorna in Cielo el suo fatto chiedendo.


Note: this is the end of the poem beginning "O lento, pigro, ingrato, ignar che fai"
