Se in questo scolorito
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se in questo scolorito Languido volto amar non puoi bellezza, Ama fede, am' amore, ama fermezza In questo cor ferito. Non è d'amor più degno D'una fiorita guancia un cor fedele? Ma tu pur sempre l'amorose vele Spieghi all'usato segno. Ahi! non vedrò mai il di, ch'a me le giri, Mosse dal vento di tanti sospiri?
