Dite o del foco mio

Dite o del foco mio
Bellissima cagion, luci spietate,
E pur volete ch'io,
Senza sperar già mai,
Incontro al folgorar de' vostri rai,
Schermo alcun di pietate,
Amando e desiando mi consumi.
Ah! dolcissimi lumi,
Non vedete negli occhi aperto il core
Che cener fatt' ancor si strugg'e more?
