Ho fuggito Amore
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ho fuggito Amor anch'io,
Ho spezzato I lacci suoi: Ma che poi?
Son tornato in servitù.
E che pensi far, cor mio?
I passati tuoi tormenti,
Non rammenti?
No, non li rammenti più.

La dolce libertà,
Tanto bramata un tempo,
O rnon t'aggrada più, Folle mio core?
Sai pur quanto periglio,
Quante amarezze Ad incontrar tu vai?
Povero cor, lo sai?
Delle false speranze, Della tradita fede,
Ancor non hai Prova certa o bastante?
Parlo in van; tu rispondi: Ahi! Sono amante.

È troppo bella, Troppo amorosa,
La pastorella, Che t'invaghì.
Mio cor, sì, sì, Torna ad amare.
Di quelle vaghe Pupille nere,
Le dolci piaghe, Fuggir chi può?
Tu non Puoi, no, no, Son troppo care.
