Bajazet

This is a pastiche of arias by several composers, with Vivaldi at the head in compiling them.

. Sposa son disprezzata
 (Sung text for setting by G. Giacomelli)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sposa son disprezzata,
fida son oltraggiata,
cieli che feci mai? 
E pur egl'è il mio cor
il mio sposo, il mio amor,
la mia speranza. 
L'amo ma egl'è infedel
spero ma egl'è crudel,
morir mi lascierai? 
O Dio manca il valor
valor e la costanza.

. Vedeste mai sul prato
 (Sung text for setting by G. Hasse)
 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.

1. Del destin non dee lagnarsi
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Del destin non dee lagnarsi
chi ha nel petto un'alma forte,
e l'aspetto della morte
non paventa un cuor di re.

Il morir solo m'avanza,
e il mio caro amato pegno
fido prence a te consegno,
tu poi l'alma ancor per me.
