by Giovanni Battista Guarini (1538 - 1612)
Questi vaghi concenti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Questi vaghi concenti che l'augellett'intorno vanno temprando a l'apparir del giorno sono, cred'io, d'amor desiri ardenti; sono pene e tormenti; e pur fanno le selv'e'l ciel gioire al lor dolce languire. Deh! se potessi anch'io cosí dolce dolermi per questi poggi solitari e ermi, che quell'a cui piacer sola desio gradiss'il pianger mio, io bramerei sol per piacer a lei eterni i pianti miei.
