by Gennarantonio Federico (d. 1744)
Quel gran torrente, che impetuoso
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Quel gran torrente, che impetuoso cala dal monte, fermar chi può? Urta, e fracassa ripari, e sponde; sassi, ed arene mesce, e confonde: e seco ancora tragge talora mandre, e capanne, greggi, e pastor. Con maggior forza sforza il mio core il crudo amore, ed io non posso, né so, né oso riparar l'impeto del suo furor.
