* A2.1: “Mai venia peregrin da cui novella / non cercassi saper, cosa per cosa, / per far la mente mia gioiosa e bella, / quando, ad un punto, il scoglio dove posa / il corpo mio, che già lo spirto è teco, / vidi coprir di nebbia tenebrosa, / e l’aria tutta mi pareva un speco / di caligine nera”; “piangeano le sirene e li delfini, / i pesci ancor.”
* A2.1: “Se vittoria volevi io t’era a presso, / ma tu, lasciando me, lasciasti lei”; “Seguir si deve il sposo dentro e fora, / e s’egli pate affanno ella patisca, / e lieto lieta, e se vi more mora”; “Tu vivi lieto, e non hai doglia alcuna, / ché, pensando di fama il novo acquisto, / non curi farmi del tuo amor digiuna.”
* A1.30: “Sterili i corpi fur, l’alme feconde; / il suo valor qui col mio nome unito / mi fan pur madre di sua chiara prole, / la qual vive immortal.”
* Canzoniere 364: “Tennemi Amor anni ventuno ardendo, / lieto nel foco, et nel duol: pien di speme; / poi che madonna e ’l mio cor seco inseme / saliro al ciel, dieci altri anni piangendo.”
† Canzoniere 328: “Rimanetevi in pace, o cari amici. / Qui mai più no, ma rivedremne altrove.”
* “Voi ch’ascoltate in rime sparse il suono / di quei sospiri ond’io nudriva ’l core / in sul mio primo giovenile errore.”
