Mio bel tesoro
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Mio bel tesoro,  
fedel son io,
(ma non a te)
al ben, che adoro,
all'idol mio
prometto fé.

Il caro amante
non segue il piede
e fido resta,
(ma non con te)
con chi li chiede,
costante e mesta
pace e mercé.

    Set to music by Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759), "Mio bel tesoro", HWV 34 no. 21 (1735), first performed 1735, from opera Alcina, no. 21
