by Apostolo Zeno (1669 - 1750)
Ho nel seno un doppio ardore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ho nel seno un doppio ardore di speranza e di timore, or sì dolce, or sì crudele, che il mio labbro dir no 'l può. E alla voce lusinghiera d'una speme menzognera, crudo amor, irato cielo, più resistere non so.
