De' più superbi il core
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
De' più superbi il core se Giove irato fulmina, freddo spavento ingombra, ma d'un alloro all'ombra non palpita il pastor. Paventino i tiranni le stragi, e le ritorte, sol rida in faccia a morte chi ha senza colpe il cor.
