by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
A un semplice istante
Language: Italian (Italiano)
A un semplice istante agghiaccio, m'accendo; non temo, pavento; resisto, m'arrendo; risolvo, mi pento. Che istante funesto è questo per me! Oh dèi! Chi consiglia quest'alma smarrita? L'amico... la figlia... il regno... la vita... Ma il rischio s'avanza, speranza non v'è.
