Il vago e bello Armillo,
Pagava il dritto al mare,
Con sue lagrime amare,
Mentre in cima d’un scoglio,
Lagrimando sfogava il suo cordoglio.

E dicea: “O beate onde, che specchio sete
A tanta alma beltade,
I miei sospir benigne raccogliete,
Serbando del mio viso ogn’ hora in voi,
L’imagine dogliosa,
Né la confonda il vostro moto poi,
Acciò quando à mirar quella ritrosa,
Em-pia verrà la sua gentil sembianza,
Veda il mio duol che tutti gl’altri avanza”.
