by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Translation Singable translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Se più felice oggetto
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se più felice oggetto
occupa il tuo pensiero,
taci, non dirmi il vero,
lasciami nell'error.
È pena che avvelena
un barbaro sospetto;
ma una certezza è pena
ch'opprime affatto un cor.

Si Cicas moins aimable
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Si Cicas moins aimable
te paroit préférable,
d'une erreur agréable
n'ôte pas le bandeau.
Le doute est une peine
qui m'accable et me géne,
assuré de ta haine
je descends au tombeau.
