text

Language: Italian

Petrarch, Canzoniere, 20:9-14

Più volte già per dir le labbr'apersi poi rimase la voce in mezzo 'l petto ma qual suon poria mai salir tant'alto più volt'incominciai di scriver versi ma la penna e la mano e l'intelletto rimaser vinti nel primier assalto

Sources

Paien (ante 1564), 40: «Piu uolte gia per dir le labbr'apersi»

The text of duo No. 40 is the second part of the sonnet «Vergognando talor ch'ancor si taccia», the two first stanzas of which are the text of duo No. 43. The two duos share the same key-signature, and are probably linked; possibly they were set apart by a fault in the pagination.
