Con le luci d'un bel ciglio
 (Sung text for setting by G. Caccini)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Con le luci d'un bel ciglio,
Co'l vermiglio
Di due guance alme rosate,
Con due labbra di rubini,
Con bei crine,
Mi combatte empia beltate.

Ad ogni hor mi dona assalto,
O che in alto
Sproni Febo i suoi destrieri
O ch'in mar' sue fiamme chiuda
E la cruda
Chiama in campo i miei pensieri.

Ah da lei fuggir lontano
Lasso in vano.
Il sudor per me s'impiega
Perch'Amor par che l'a'mpiumi
Si sui fiumi,
E su'l mar' le insegna spiega.

Hor chi porge alcun' ahita
A mia vita?
Se fuggir non ho possanza,
Ch'io contrasti alcun nn dica
Tal nemica
Soverchiar non è possanza.

Composition:

    Set to music by Giulio Caccini (1546 - 1618), "Con le luci d'un bel ciglio"
