Cor mio, non mori? e mori!

Cor mio, non mori? e mori! 
L'idolo tuo, ch'è tolto 
a te, fia tosto in altrui braccia accolto.
Deh, spezzati, mio core!
lascia, lascia con l'aura anco l'ardore;
ch'esser non può che ti riserbi in vita
senza speme e aita.
Su, mio cor, mori! Io moro, io vado; a Dio,
dolcissimo ben mio.
