by Simeone Antonio Sografi (1759 - 1818)

Se pietà nel cor serbate
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se pietà nel cor serbate,  
deh calmate il vostro ardor.
Che ve 'l chiede, già mirate,
la mia pena, il mio dolor.
Tornerete armati in campo,
offrirete a' colpi il petto:
ah ritorni un dolce affetto
a regnar nel vostro cor.
Dèi che veggo! Vi arrendete!
Qual istante! Qual diletto!
Ah già torna un dolce affetto
a regnar nel vostro cor.
