Queste lagrim'amare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Queste lagrim'amare, Quest'angoscioso pianto, Pianto non è, ma sangue Del misero cor mio, Ferito dallo strale Del vostro sdegno adamantino e rio. Ahi, lasso! e si ne langue Il mio spirto vitale, Ch'io mi sento morire. Fero sdegno, empio cor, aspro desire! Volete pur ch'io mora? Morirò, ma chi mor'è un che v'adora.
