Dimmi, lingua bugiarda
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Dimmi, lingua bugiarda, Quai sospir, qual amante Aggiungi al fiero stuol dei miei tormenti? Senti, perfido, senti, Qualor t’assale a danno di mia fé Ombra sì rea, deh, pensa (ahi, che il duolo m’affanna), Pensa nascita, onor, e mi candanna. Ma folle, e che ragiono? Si sprezzi pur d’un traditor l’orgoglio; L’onor non manca, e l’amor tuo non voglio.
