by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Grandi, è ver, son le tue pene
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Grandi, è ver, son le tue pene: perdi, è ver, l'amato bene; ma sei tua, ma piangi intanto, ma domandi almen pietà. Io dal fato, io sono oppressa: perdo altrui, perdo me stessa; né conservo almen del pianto l'infelice libertà.
