Alme luci beate

Alme luci beate
Che dolcemente ardeste
E dolce distruggeste
L'incenerito core,
Chi di bei lampi or farà lieto Amore?
Io vi lasso mie scorte,
Io mi parto bei numi,
Io vò lungi miei numi,
E non ho spem' ohimè che mi conforte.

Alme luci beate,
Se per si lunga etate
Amando e rimirando
Voi foste il mio gioire,
Or per si lunga etate
Amando e rimembrando
Sarete il mio martire.
