by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Siam navi all'onde algenti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Siam navi all'onde algenti Lasciate in abbandono, Impetuosi venti I nostri affetti sono, Ogni diletto è scoglio, Tutta la vita è un mar. Ben, qual nocchiero, in noi veglia ragion; ma poi pur dall'ondoso orgoglio si lascia trasportar.
