La Travagliata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Soccorrete, luci avare, un che muore di dolore; con un vostro sguardo almeno! Si può fare del guardare carità che costi meno? Proferite, labra care, sole sole due parole a chi muor cortesi almeno! Si può fare del parlare cortesia che importi meno? Sodisfate, se vi pare, un costante fido amante con un vostro bacio almeno! Si può dare del baciare guiderdon che vaglia meno?
