Silentio nocivo

Dolcissimi respiri
de nostri cori amanti
Son le parole affetuose,
E icanti.
Sfoga o mio core
Il tuo cocente ardore
Se tal hor non ti tocca,
Nodrirti almen
Di due soavi baci
Afflitissima bocca
Stolta sei se tu taci
Parla, canta, respira
E sana il duolo
Canta, che solo
Dolcissimi respiri
De nostri cori amanti
Son le parole affetuose,
E i canti.

by Giulio Strozzi (1583-1660)
