by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Quanti mai!
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se a ciascun l'interno affano, Si leggesse in fronte scritto, Quanti mai che invidia fanno, Ci farebbero pietà! Se vedria che i lor nemici Hanno in seno, E si riduce nel parer a noi felici Ogni lor felicità.
