Cosi potess' io ben chiuder in versi 92
Da' piu begli occhi e dal piu chiaro viso 302
Datemi pace, o duri mici pensieri 240
Deh porgi mano all' affannato ingeguo 317
Deh qual pieta, qual angel fu si presto 297
Del cibo onde 'l signor mio sempre abbonda 298
Dell' empia Babilonia, ond' e fuggita 105
Del mar Tirreno alla sinistra riva 65
Dicemi spesso il mio fidato speglio 312
Dicesett' anni ha gia rivolto il cielo 112
Di di in di vo cangiando il viso e 'l pelo 176
Di pensier in pensier, di monte in monte 127
Discolorato hai, Morte, il piu bel volto 246
Di tempo in tempo mi si fa men dura 145
Dodici donne onestamente lasse 201
Dolce mio, caro e prezioso pegno 297
Dolci durezze e placide repulse 315
Dolci ire, dolci sdegni e dolci paci 182
Donna che lieta col Principio nostro 302
Due gran nemiche insieme erano aggiunte 257
Due rose fresehe, e colte in paradiso 215
D' un bel, chiaro, polito e vivo ghiaccio 181
E' mi par d' or in ora udire il messo 303
E questo 'l nido in che la mia Fenice 275
Era 'l giorno ch' al sol si scoloraro 3
Erano i capei d' oro all' aura sparsi 88
Far potess' io vendetta di colei 222
Fera stella (se 'l cielo ha forza in noi) 162
Fiamma dal ciel su le tue treccie piova 135
Fontana di dolore, albergo d' ira 137
Fresco, ombroso, fiorito e verde colle 213
Fu forse un tempo dolce cosa amore 299
Fuggendo la prigione ov' Amor m' ebbe 88
Gentil mia donna, i' veggio 74
Geri, quando talor meco s' adira 165
Gia desiai con si giusta querela 195
Gia fiammeggiava l' amorosa stella 36
Giovane donna sott'un verde lauro 34
Giunto Alessandro alla famosa tomba 170
Giunto m' ha Amor fra belle e crude braccia 161
Gli angeli eletti e l' anime beate 301
Gli occhi di ch' io parlai si caldamente 253
Gloriosa Colonna, in cui s' appoggia 9
Grazie ch' a pochi 'l ciel largo destina 192
I begli occhi, ond' i' fui percosso in guisa 78
I di miei piu leggier che nessun cervo 274
I dolci colli ov' io lasciai me stesso 190
I' ho pien di sospir quest' aer tutto 250
I' ho pregato Amor, e nel riprego 212
Il cantar novo e 'l pianger degli augelli 197

Il mal mi preme, e mi
spaventa
il peggio 214
Il mio avversario, in cui veder solete 46
Il successor di Carlo, che la chioma 26
I' mi soglio accusare, ed or mi scuso 257
I' mi vivea di mia sorte contento 204
In dubbio di mio stato, or piango, or canto 219
In mezzo di duo amanti onesta altera 106
In nobil sangue vita umile e queta 194
In qual parte del cielo, in quale idea 153
In quel bel viso, ch' i' sospiro e bramo 222
In quella parte dov' Amor mi sprona 121
In tale stella duo begli occhi vidi 224
Io amai sempre, ed amo forte ancora 86
Io avro sempre in odio la fenestra 86
Io canterei d' Amor si novamente 130
Io mi rivolgo indietro a ciascun passo 12
Io non fu' d' amar voi lassato unquanco 84
Io pensava assai destro esser sull' ale 265

Io son dell' aspettar omai si vinto 93
Io son gia stanco di pensar siccome 78
Io son si stanco sotto 'l fascio antico 83
Io temo si de' begli occhi l' assalto 43
I' piansi, or canto; che 'l celeste lume 204
I' pur ascolto, e non odo novella 221
Italia mia, benche 'l parlar sia indarno 124
Ite, caldi sospiri, al freddo core 148
Ite, rime dolenti, al duro sasso 290

I' vo piangendo i miei passati tempi 314
La bella donna che cotanto amavi 89
La donna che 'l mio cor nel viso porta 104

L' alma mia fiamma oltra le belle bella 250
L' alto e novo miracol ch' a di nostri 266
L' alto signor, dinanzi a cui non vale 212
L' arbor gentil ohe forte amai molt' anni 61
L' ardente nodo ov' io fui, d' ora in ora 239
Lasciato hai, Morte, senza sole il mondo 295
