10. Metastasio (pour album)
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sogna il guerrier le schiere,
Le selve il cacciator;
E sogna il pescator 
Le reti e l'amo.

Sopito in dolce obblio,
Sogno pur io così
Colei, che tutto il dì
sospiro e chiamo.

11. Brindisi
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Del fanciullo il primo canto
è la voce del dolore,
cresce al mondo e cresce intanto
all'affanno ed al sofrir.

Si, di abando e dai pensieri
del buon vino si tracanni,
passerem felici gli anni
in questa valle di miserie piena.

D'una poco giovinezza
poco dura il suo fiorire,
tosto viene la vecchiezza
vien la morte a far cùcù.

Viva Antonio, il grande il forte, gran patricia
del buon vino ei pur tracanni,
passerem felici gli anni
in questa valle di miserie piena.
