– Becchin’amor! – Che vuo’, falso tradito? is a sonnet by the Italian poet Cecco Angiolieri.
Short analysis
The sonnet is a parody of Italian medieval contrastos: it is a dialogue between the poet and the woman he loves, Becchina. She probably believes Cecco has been unfaithful, so she repulses him; in the last line the two lovers conciliate. We can easily understand the sonnet is a parody thanks to the combination of popular common sayings and courtly love's typical words.
