by Giovanni Battista Casti (1724 - 1803)
Tu servimi, e la mensa
Language: Italian (Italiano)
(a Taddeo con autorità, a Belisa affettuosamente) Tu servimi, e la mensa ai cenni miei prepara; tu placati, tu pensa, cara, a serbarmi amor. (a Taddeo come sopra) Il mio voler intendi ed obbedir tu déi; (a Belisa come sopra) t'obbedirò, tu sei l'arbitra del mio cor. (Nel comandar rammento ch'io sono Acmet ancor. E nell'amar mi sento umile, e servo ognor.)
