Delizie contente, che l'alma beate
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Delizie contente, che l'alma beate fermate. Su questo mio core deh più, deh più non stillate le gioie d'amore. Delizie mie care, fermatevi qui: non so più bramare, mi basta così. In grembo agli amori fra dolci catene morir, morir mi conviene, dolcezza omicida a morte, a morte mi guida, mi guida in braccio al mio bene.
