by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Se del fiume altera l’onda
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se del fiume altera l’onda tenta uscir dal letto usato, corre a questa, a quella sponda l’affannato agricoltor. Ma disperde in su l’arene il sudor, le cure e l’arti, che se in una ei lo trattiene, si fa strada in cento parti il torrente vincitor.
