Ballata 5, also known as "Donna mi priegha," is a poem written by the Italian poet Guido Cavalcanti in the 13th century. It is a passionate and deeply personal expression of love and desire, and is considered one of Cavalcanti's greatest works.
In the poem, Cavalcanti addresses a woman he calls "Donna," asking her to listen to his words and to understand the depth of his feelings for her. He tells her that he cannot live without her, and that she has captured his heart and soul. He describes her as being like a bright star in the sky, shining with beauty and radiance.
Despite the intensity of his emotions, Cavalcanti also reveals a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty in the poem. He admits that he is afraid to express his love openly, and that he is uncertain of how she will react to his words. This adds a layer of complexity to the poem, as the reader is left to wonder whether Donna will return Cavalcanti's feelings, or whether he will be left alone to suffer in his love for her.
Overall, Ballata 5 is a powerful and poignant expression of love and desire, and is a testament to Cavalcanti's skill as a poet and his ability to capture the complexities and nuances of human emotion. It remains a beloved and widely-studied work of literature to this day, and is a testament to the enduring power of love.

Corso, it is said, tried to assassinate him on this pilgrimage. Whence it should be possible to show that any given rhythm implies about it a complete musical forni, fugue, sonata, I cannot say what form, but a form, perfect, complete. By the same token, I consider Carducci and Arnone blasphemous in accepting the reading E fa di ciarliate tremar l'are instead of following those MSS. For if thou look on her, Then shalt thou see her virtue risen in heaven. Le donne, che si fanno compagnia Assai mi piacen per lo vostro amore ; Ed io le prego per lor cortesia, Che qual più puote, più vi faccia onore, Ed aggia cara vostra signoria, Perchè di tutte siete la migliore.

SCREDETTE Cimabue nella pintura i j Tener lo campo, ed ora ha Giotto il grido, Sì che la fama di colui oscura. E lo nome di questa donna era Giovanna, salvo che par la sua beltade, secondo eh' altre crede, imposto Pera nome Primavera : e cosi era chiamata Dante, Vita Nuova, xxiv. A counsel of judges, Dante Alighieri amongst them, exiled the leaders of both factions and their accomplices, including Cavalcanti. Whereas my grief in this is grown more grave And sighs have turned me to one light and flame, I send my burning heart, in her acclaim Unto Pinella, upon a magic stream Where fairies and their fair attendants gleam, In this wrecked barque! Rhythm is perhaps the most primal of ali things known to us. Retrieved 17 March 2021. Virtute, virtue, potency, requires a separate treatise. Però che se V amico è quel, eh' io intendo, E' non avrà già sì la mente accorta, Ch' udendo la ingiuriosa cosa, e torta, Ch' io ti fo soffrir tuttora ardendo, Temo non prenda tale smarrimento, Che avanti, che udito abbia tua pesanza, Non si diparta da la vita il core.
Ballata 5: Light Do I See Within My Lady's Eyes by Guido Cavalcanti
Ciò che può la beltade e la valenza, De la mia Donna in suo gentil coraggio, Par, che rassembre vile a chi ciò guarda ; E tanto ha più d' ogni altra conoscenza Quanto lo del di questa terra è maggio, A simil di natura ben non tarda. Mercy to her heart be no more foeman, You'd cali me clownish, vile, and say that no Was so past hope and filled with vanities. There was an accompanying return to study, and to interpretation and emulation of the classics, known as a revival of antiquity. Now can I tell you tidings of mine eyes, News which such pleasure to my heart supplieth That Love himself for glory of it sigheth. Love bore away thy heart, because in his sight Was Death grown clamorous for one thou lovest, Love fed her with thy heart in dread of this, Then, when it seemed to thee he left in sadness, A dear dream was it which was there completed, Seeing it contrary carne conquering. VANAGLORIA dell' umane posse, Com' poco verde su la cima dura, Se non è giunta dall' etati grosse! Who sees such things? Guido left two children, Andrea and Tancia. Love-worn, and her face like some pale rose.
E lì mi conta sì d' amor lo vero, Che ogni sua vertù veder mi pare, Sì come fossi dentro al suo cor giunto. Tidings thou bearest with thee sorrow-fain Full of all grieving, overcast with fear. DGR adheres exactly to the rhyme scheme of the original poem. It is more plausible to accept 1292 as the date of the feud between the Cavalcanti and the Bundelmonti, dating so the sonnet to Nerone; for upon his return from the pilgrimage which had extended only to Toulouse, Guido attacks Corso in the streets of Florence, and for the general turmoil ensuing, the leaders of both factions were exiled. So far as the personal Matilda is concerned, the great Countess of Tuscany has some claims, and we have nothing to show that Giovanna was dead at the time of the vision. Light do I see within my Lady's eyes And loving spirits in its plenisphere Which bear in strange delight on my heart's care Till Joy's awakened from that sepulchre.
The ladies of whom thy cortège consisteth Please me in this, that they've thy favour won ; I bid them now, as courtesy existeth, Holding most dear thy lordship of their state, To honour thee with powers commensurate, Sith thou art thou, that art sans paragon. By this time, the Guelphs began to fight among themselves. It is a full-fledged treatise of his personal thoughts and beliefs on love.

So straight was the first blow That the soul, quivering, reverberated, seeing the heart on the left was dead. And now I care not, sith thy life is baseness To give the sign that thy speech pleaseth me, Nor come I to thee in guise visible, Yet if thou'lt read this sonnet many a time, That malign spirit which so hunteth thee Will sound forloyn 1 and spare thy affrighted soul. The twelfth ballata, being psychological and not metaphysical, need hardly be explained. When we know more of overtones we shall see that the tempo of every masterpiece is absolute, and is exactly set by some further law of rhythmic accord. Ma ben è vèr che rallargar lo pegno, Di che potresti V anima salvare, Se fussi paziente del mercato.

E' va tagliando di sì gran valore, Che i deboluzzi spiriti van via : Campa figura nova in signoria, E boce è quando mostra lo dolore : Questa verta d' Amor, che m ha disfatto, Da' vostri occhi gentil presta si mosse, Lanciato m' ha d' un dardo entro lo fianco ; Si giunse il colpo dritto al primo tratto, Che l'anima tremando si riscosse, Veggendo morto il cor nel lato manco. Although there are many poems that exemplify Cavalcanti's poetic maturity, Certe mie rime a te mandar vogliendo is unparalleled in its originality, for here Guido adapts his medium of love to speak of his inner psychological state and the uncertainty of Dante's reaction in this example of Certe mie rime a te mandar vogliendo del greve stato che lo meo cor porta, Amor aparve a me in figura morta e disse: — Non mandar, ch'i' ti riprendo, però che, se l'amico è quel ch'io 'ntendo, e' non avrà già sì la mente accorta, ch'udendo la 'ngiuliosa cosa e torta ch'i' ti fo sostener tuttora ardendo, temo non prenda sì gran smarrimento ch'avante ch'udit' aggia tua pesanza non si diparta da la vita il core. His sophistication prevents the complete enthusiasm. Her hair was wavy somewhat, like dull gold. Lasso, eh' è pien di doglia, E da' sospir sì d' ogni parte priso, Che quasi sol mercè non può chiamare ; E di virtù lo spoglia L' affanno che m ha già quasi conquiso ; Canto, piacer con beninanza e riso, Mi son doglie e sospiri ; Guardi ciascuno e miri, Che morte m' è nel viso già salita. Corso, it is said, tried to assassinate him on this pilgrimage. N ON è il mondan romore altro eh' un fiato Di vento, eh' or vìen quinci ed or vien quindi, E muta nome, perchè muta lato.
