by Paolo Antonio Rolli (1687 - 1765)

Una beltà che sa
 (Sung text for setting by N. Porpora)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Una beltà che sa  
farsi de i cor tiranna,
inganna, diletta,
e se v'alletta,
fa quel che vuol di voi, poveri amanti!

E più ingannati siete
dall'esca del piacer,
più a' lacci suoi cadete:
l'inganno, e non il ver, vi fa costanti.

Composition:

    Set to music by Nicola Antonio Porpora (1686 - 1768), "Una beltà che sa", 1735, first performed 1735, from opera Polifemo
