L'udir talvolta

L'udir talvolta nominare il loco
Dove dimori, o talvolta vedere
Chi di là venga, mi riaccende il fuoco
Nel cor mancato per troppo dolere.
E par ch'io senta alcun nascoso gioco
Nell'anima legata dal piacere,
E meco dico: quindi venissi io
Onde quel viene, o dolce mio disio!...

by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375)
