Torrente cresciuto
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Torrente cresciuto
per torbida piena
se perde il tributo
del giel che si scioglie
fra l’aride sponde
più l’onde non ha.
 
Ma il fiume, che nacque
da limpida vena,
se privo è dell’acque
che il verno raccoglie,
il corso non perde,
più chiaro si fa.
