Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Prigioniera abbandonata,
pietà merto e non rigore.
Ah, fai torto al tuo bel core,
disprezzandomi così.

Non fidarti della sorte:
presso al trono anch'io son nata;
e ancor tu fra le ritorte
sospirar potresti un dì.

Composition:

    Set to music by Giovanni Adolfo Hasse (1699 - 1783), "Prigionera abbandonata", 1752, first performed 1752 [ strings, soprano voice, and continuo ]
