Consiglio a Nice
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sul ciglio tuo severo Si pose accorto amore, A chi ti vede il core Rapisce e libertâ. Ma poi se il prigionero Si lagna e se ti chiede Al suo penar mercede Non trova in te pietâ. Non credi se ti dice Che senza amore in petto Non v'è piacer perfetto Non v'è felicitâ. Almeno, o bella Nice, Se amore non vuoi bel seno De' tuoi bei lumi almeno Deh tempra la crudeltâ.

Sous ton regard sévère pourquoi jeune bergère de l'enfant de Cythère nous dérober les traits il faut dans sa jeunesse du dieu de la tendresse que l'amoureuse ivresse enflamme tes attraits. Écoute jeune amie cette voix qui te crie sans amour dans la vie on ne peut être heureux si cette douce flamme n'agite point ton âme que l'amour qui m'enflamme anime au moins tes yeux.
