Non ritrova un'alma forte
 (Sung text for setting by F. Veracini)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Non ritrova un’alma forte
che temer nell’ore estreme.
La viltà di chi lo teme
fa terribile il morir.
 
Non è ver che sia la morte
il peggior di tutti i mali.
È un sollievo de’ mortali
che son stanchi di soffrir.
