Care labbra che d'amore ¹ 

Aure fresche, aure volanti ² 

Me ne farete tante che più non soffrirò ¹ 

Pazienza, finirà l'influenza ² 

Ahi, che posar non puote ¹ 

Fulmini, quanto sa quel sembiante severo ² 

Si, quella tu sei che il mio cor sempre adorò ¹ 

Dietro l'orme del desio ² 

Ardo, sospiro e piango ¹ 

Sarà ver ch'io mai disciolga ² 

Occhi belli, e che sarà ¹ 

La bellissima speranza che nutrisce ² 

Non si move onda in fiume ¹ 

Trionfate, invitti colli ¹ ²

Il primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci, 1607

Intenerite voi, lagrime mie

Al partir del mio sole

Parlo, miser', o taccio?

Crud'Amarilli

Ha di serp'il velen, di tigr'il morso

Felice chi vi mira

Fiume, ch'a l'onde tue

Quasi tra rose e gigli

Cor mio, deh, non languire

Ma con chi parlo? Ahi lassa

Che non t'ami, cor mio

Pur venisti, cor mio

Interdette speranz'e van desio

Filli, mirando il cielo
