Libertà

Non ci lusinghi più
con la tua dolce spene
vezzosa seruitù
libertà non più catene

Dunqu'era il mio bene
Dunqu'era il mio core
una donna infedel
priva d'Amore

oh stolido errore
per breve gioire
corteggiar pene
e vagheggiar martire

oh basso desire
oh alto arrischiato
chi gode nell'inferno
esser dannato

Non ci lusinghi più
con la tua dolce spene
vezzosa seruitù
libertà non più catene.

by Giulio Strozzi (1583-1660)
