Fammi beato!
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Greek (Ελληνικά)
Cerchi ricchezze, onor chi n'ha desio; un sorriso d'amor chiede il cor mio. Del mondo non mi cal, d'ogni suo bene; un tuo sguardo più val, diletta Irene! Se in te parla pietà d'un disperato, vieni al deserto, e là fammi beato! Soli indivisi allor, cara, vivremo, la terra del dolor bella vedremo. Mai nel mondo non fu, non è riposo; contro la gioventù freme invidioso. Ti basti il tuo fedel per te creato; a lui ti lega il ciel, segui il tuo fato.

Confirmed with La viola del pensiero, Livorno, 1841. This appears to be an Italian translation of a Greek poem, but neither author is indicated.
