by Giuseppe Maria Foppa (1760 - 1845)
Qual tenero diletto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Qual tenero diletto amare un vago oggetto, che in sé costante aduna il merto e la beltà! Ma quanto è mai tiranna la forza del destino se amare ci condanna chi vanto tal non ha. Ah più non vive oh dio quella che odiar dovrei: ma in rammentar di lei tormento amor mi dà.
