by Paolo Antonio Rolli (1687 - 1765)

Ma un dolce mio pensiero
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ma un dolce mio pensiero,
pensier d’amante cor, pur sento,
che mi dice che rendermi felice
la sorte un dì saprà.

Pensiero lusinghiero,
no, non esser mentitor!
E’ persa ogni speranza,
se nel tuo dolce vero l’mia
più cara pace asilo non avrà.

Composition:

    Set to music by Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759), "Ma un dolce mio pensiero", HWV 14, from opera Floridante
