Marconi’s Madrigal Lyrics

Se ‘l sasso ond’ è più chiusa questa valle
(di che ‘l suo proprio nome si deriva)
Tenesse vòlto per natura schiva
A Roma il viso et a Babel le spalle
I miei sospiri più benigno calle
Avrian per gire ove lor spene è viva:
Or vanno sparsi, et pur ciascuno arriva
Là dov’ io il mando, chè sol un non falle;
Et son di là sì dolcemente accolti
Com’ io m’accorgo, che nessun mai torna
Con tal diletto in quelle parti stanno
De gli occhi è ‘l duol, che tosto che s’aggiorna
Per gran desio d’ be’ luoghi a lor tolti
Dànno a me pianto et a’ pie’ lassi affanno
