SONETTO.

	MENTE mia, che presaga de' tuoi danni
	Al tempo lieto già pensosa, e trista
	Sì 'ntentamente ne l' amata vista
	Requie cercavi de' futuri affanni:
	A gli atti, a le parole, al viso, a i panni,
	A la nova pietà con dolor mista,
	Potei ben dir, se del tutto eri avista:
	Quest' è l' ultimo dì de' miei dolci anni.
	Qual dolcezza fu quella, ò miser' alma,
	Come ardevamo in quel punto, ch' i vidi
	Gli occhi, i quai non dovea riveder mai?
	Quando a lor, come a duo amici più fidi,
	Partendo, in guardia la più nobil salma,
	I miei carl pensieri, e 'l cor lasciai.

Par. II. Son. 46.
