by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Nel mirar quel sasso amato
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
S. Elena
Nel mirar quel sasso amato,
  Che raccolse il sommo Bene,
  Mi ricordo le sue pene,
  Mi rammento il nostro error.
Parmi questo
  Il dì funesto,
  Che spirò l’eterna Prole,
  E che il volto ascose il Sole,
  Per pietà del suo Fattor.
