by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Di vantarsi ha ben ragione
del suo cor, de’ propri affetti
chi dispone a suo piacer.
 
Ma in amor gli alteri detti
non son degni assai di fede.
Libertà co’ lacci al piede
vanta spesso il prigionier.
