[Sonetto VII]
Con l'altre donne mia vista gabbate
e non pensate, donna, onde si mova,
ch'io vi rassembri si figura nova,
quando riguardo la vostra beltate.
Se lo saveste, non poría pietate
tener piú contra me l'usata prova;
ché amor, quando si presso a vo' mi trova,
prende baldanza e tanta securtate,
che fere tra' miei spiritı paurosi,
e quale ancide, e qual pinge di fora,
ll sí che solo remane a veder vui.
Ond' io mi cangio in figura d'altrui,
ma non sí, ch' io non senta bene allora
li gual de li scacciatı tormentosi.
