Costanza tu m'insegni, e vuoi ch'io speri, ma quegl'occhi superbi, e severi non danno alle mie pene un guardo solo. Pascendo di speranza i miei pensieri pur tal volta sospiro, e mi consolo.
Orlando furioso
Opera by Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741)

Amorose ai rai del sole
Amorose ai rai del sole son le rose, e le viole, ed il sol col raggio ardente pur talor languir le fa. Benché senta il mio diletto nuovo fuoco dentro il petto, amerà sempre costante la mia bella fedeltà.

Vorresti amor da me?
Vorresti amor da me? L'avrai, l'avrai; ma non sperar, che mai al solo solo foco de' tuoi languenti rai arda il mio cor. T'inganni se lo credi, sei cieco, se non vedi, ch'io contenta non son d'un solo amor.

Benché nasconda la serpe in seno spietata, e immonda il rio veleno, è men crudele dell'infedele che t'ingannò. È pien di frodi il regno infido, e in altro lido io fuggirò.

Non è felice un'alma
Non è felice un'alma, che amando un sol oggetto trovi del cor la calma, e sia contenta. Spesso cangiando amore più fortunato è un core. Non dà, non dà diletto, un solo, solo affetto; ma torbido talor l'alma tormenta.

Come l'onda con voragine orrenda, e profonda agitata da venti, e procelle, fremendo, stridendo, là nel seno del mare se n' va. Il tuo core combattuto da fiero timore, turbato, agitato, sospira, s'adira, e sdegnoso ritrovar più riposo non sa.
