Arie sciolte

by Josina (Giustina) Anna Petronella van Aerssen (1733 - 1797)

1. Che non mi dissi un dì!  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Che non mi disse un dì!
Quai numi non giurò!
E come, oh Dio! si può,
come si può così
mancar di fede?
Tutto per lui perdei;
oggi lui perdo ancor.
Poveri affetti miei!
Questa mi rendi, Amor,
[questa]1 mercede?

2. Ah ! ritorna, età dell'oro  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ah ritorna età dell'oro
alla terra abbandonnata,
se non fosti imaginata
nel sognar felicità.
 
Non è ver; quel dolce stato
non fuggì, non fu sognato;
ben lo sente ogni innocente
nella sua tranquillità.
