Description: Although centuries lie between this work and Monteverdi's Dolcissimo uscignolo with its rubric "cantato a voce piena, alla francese", it's tempting to understand the first line as a pun on "Francesca"/ full throated vocalization, notwithstanding the poet's intention of keeping his feelings to himself.
