- 13th century, Guittone d'Arezzo, Se de voi, donna gente, collected in Le rime di Guittone d'Arezzo, Bari: Laterza, published 1940, page 3, lines 1–6:
- Se de voi, donna gente,
m’ha preso amor, no è giá meraviglia,
ma miracol somiglia
come a ciascun no ha l’anima presa;
ché de cosa piacente
savemo de vertá ch’è nato amore.- If I have caught love for you, gentle woman, is no wonder; but it seems like a miracle that it hasn't taken everyone's soul, for in truth we know that Love was born of a pleasing thing.
