Con dolze sono, quando se' con lui, comincia este parole .​.​.

lyrics

Con dolze sono, quando se’ con lui,
comincia este parole,
appresso che averai chesta pietate:
“Madonna, quelli che mi manda a vui,
quando vi piaccia, vole,
sed elli ha scusa, che la m’intendiate.

Amore è qui, che per vostra bieltate
lo face, come vol, vista cangiare:
dunque perchè li fece altra guardare
pensatel voi, da che non mutò ‘l core.”

With sweet music, once you are with him,
begin these words,
after you have asked for pity:
“My lady, the man who sends me to you,
may it please you, wishes,
if he has an apology, that you hear me state it.

Love is here, who through your beauty
makes him turn pale at will:
therefore, consider well why he made him
look at another woman, since his heart has not changed.’
