by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Fiamma ignota nell'alma mi scende
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Fiamma ignota nell’alma mi scende; sento il nume; m’inspira, m’accende, di me stessa mi rende maggior. Ferri, bende, bipenni, ritorte, pallid’ombre compagne di morte già vi guardo ma senza terror.
