Qual dolcezza giamai
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Qual dolcezza giamai Di canto di sirena Involò i sensi e l'alma chi l'udiro Che di quella non sia minor assai Che con la voce angelica e divina Desta nei cor la bella Pecorina1 A la dolce harmonia si fa serena L'aria, s'acqueta il mar, taccion' i venti, Et si rallegra il ciel di giro in giro I santi angeli intenti Chinand' in questa part' il vago viso S'obliand' ogni piacer del paradiso Et ella in tant' honore Dice con lieto suon: Qui regn' Amore.
