Dura legge d’Amor, ma benché obliqua
Servar conviensi, però ch’ella aggiunge,
Di cielo in terra universale, antiqua.
Hor sò come da sé il cor si disgiunge,
E come sa far pace, guerra e tregua,
E coprir suo dolor, quand’ altri il punge.

E sò come in un punto si dilegua,
E poi si sparge per le guancie il sangue,
Se paura ò vergogna avien che’l segua
Sò come stà tra fiori ascoso l’Angue,
Come sempre fra due si vegghia e dorme,
Come senza languir si more e langue.
(Petrarca, Triumphus Cupidinis III, 148 - 159)
