   • 13^th 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.
