Poro

Opera by Nicola Antonio Porpora (1686 - 1768)

Digli ch'io son fedele
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Digli ch'io son fedele.
Ch'è il mio tesoro,
Che m'ami, ch'io l'adoro,
Che non disperi ancor.

Digli, che la mia stella
Spero placar col pianto,
Che lo consoli intanto
L'immagine di quella
Che vive nel suo cor.

Destrier, che all'armi usato
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Destrier, che all’armi usato
fuggì dal chiuso albergo,
scorre la selva, il prato,
agita il crin sul tergo
e fa co’ suoi nitriti
le valli risonar.
 
Ed ogni suon che ascolta
crede che sia la voce
del cavalier feroce
che l’anima a pugnar.

Se è ver che t’accendi
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se è ver che t’accendi
di nobili ardori, 
conserva, difendi
la bella che adori
e siegui ad amarla,
ch’è degna d’amor.
 
Di qualche mercede
se indegno non sono,
la man che lo diede
rispetta nel dono;
non altro ti chiede
il tuo vincitor.
