Ch'io mai vi possa Lasciar d'amare, No, nol credete, Pupille care; Nè men per gioco V'ingannerò. Voi foste e siete Le mie faville, E voi sarete, Care pupille, Il mio bel foco Sin ch'io vivrò.

Vedeste mai sul prato Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Vedeste mai sul prato cader la pioggia estiva? Talor la rosa avviva a la viola appresso; figlio del prato istesso è l’uno e l’altro fiore ed è l’istesso umore che germogliar gli fa. Il cor non è cangiato se accusa o se difende. Una cagion m’accende di sdegno e di pietà.

La sorte mia tiranna Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano)
La sorte mia tiranna farmi di più non può. M’accusa e mi condanna un’empia ed un germano, l’amico e il genitor. Ogni soccorso è vano, che più sperar non ho, perché fedel son io, questo è il delitto mio, questo diventa error.

Se il caro figlio Matches base text
