Someone else stole a kiss from him, yet he is seizing my collar in anger; this boy is like a tempest and wants to drown everyone.
Here, the poet captures the stormy and unpredictable temper of a youthful beloved with gentle wit. Even though someone else stole the kiss, the beloved vents his fury upon the innocent lover, clutching his collar in misplaced rage. By calling him a tempest ('tufani'), the poet highlights a fiery nature that spares no one, dragging everyone into the whirlwind of his chaotic emotions.
