| - | |
| If but the fire that lightens in thine eyes | A |
| Were equal with their beauty all the snow | B |
| And frost of all the world would melt and glow | B |
| Like brands that blaze beneath fierce tropic skies | A |
| But heaven in mercy to our miseries | A |
| Dulls and divides the fiery beams that flow | B |
| From thy great loveliness that we may go | B |
| Through this stern mortal life in tranquil wise | A |
| Thus beauty burns not with consuming rage | C |
| For so much only of the heavenly light | D |
| Inflames our love as finds a fervent heart | E |
| This is my case lady in sad old age | C |
| If seeing thee I do not die outright | D |
| 'Tis that I feel thy beauty but in part | E |
Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
