Nel dolce dell'oblio, benchè riposi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  DUT ENG FRE
Recitativo:
 Nel dolce dell'oblio, benchè riposi,
 la mia Filli adorata
 veglia coi pensier suoi.
 E in quella quiete Amor non cessa mai,
 con varie forme,
 la sua pace turbar mentre elle dorme.

Aria:
 Giacchè il sonno a lei dipinge
 la sembianza del suo bene,
 nella quiete nè pur finge
 d'abbracciar le sue catene
 Giacchè, etc.

Recitativo:
 Così fida ella vive al cuor che adora,
 e nell'ombra respira
 la luce di quel sol per cui sospira.

Aria:
 Ha l'inganno il suo diletto
 se i pensier mossi d'affetto,
 stiman ver ciò che non sanno.
 Ma se poi si risveglia a un tale errore
 il pensier ridica a noi:
 ha l'inganno il suo dolore.
 Ha l'inganno, etc.
