Se di regnar sei vago
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se di regnar sei vago, già pago è il tuo desio, e se vendetta vuoi di tutti i torti tuoi, da te dipenderà. Da chi ti volle oppresso già la superbia è doma, mercé il valor di Roma, mercé quel fato istesso, che ognor ti seguirà.
