O fugace, o superba
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O fugace, o superbe, o più che vento rapida e lieve, o più che marmo dura a le mie voci, ed all'incendio mio via più fredda che neve, Amarilli crudel, spietata e ria! Ove fuggi, o chi fuggi, o perché fuggi? Deh, ferma, ohimè, lo sbigottito piede, Amarilli, deh, torna, e ferma alquanto! Amarilli fugace, ove mi lasci?
