Lusinghe più care
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Lusinghe più care d'Amor veri dardi Vezzose volate sul labbro, nei guardi, e tutta involate l'altrui libertà. Gelosi sospetti, diletti con pene; fra gioie e tormenti momenti di spene, voi l'armi farete di vaga beltà.

Allurements the dearest
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Allurements the dearest, Love's arrows far-glancing, Sweet glamour of rose-lips, of bright eyes joy-dancing, What havoc ye make in a man's eager heart! Suspicion's tormenting, relenting denials, Keen joy, bitter trials, Hope's moments entrancing, these weapons of beauty, they all play their part!
