Perfidissimo volto
Language:
Italian
Perfidissimo volto,
ben l'usata bellezza in te si vede,
ma non l'usata fede.
Già mi parevi dir: »Quest'amorose
luci che dolcemente
rivolgo a te, sì belle e sì pietose,
prima vedrai tu spente
che sia spento il desio ch'a te le gira.«
Ahi, ch'è spent'il desio,
ma non è spento quel per cui sospira
l'abandonato core.
O volto troppo vago e troppo rio,
perché se perdi amore
non perdi ancor vaghezza,
o non hai pari a la beltà fermezza?
