by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Ne' campi e nelle selve
Language: Italian (Italiano)
[Ne']1 campi e nelle selve Seguivo già le belve, Pascevo il gregge ancor Libero pastorello, Libero cacciator; Ora non son più quello: Perdei la libertà. E quel ch'è peggio, oh Dio, Come se il mio tormento Colpa non sia di lei, Mostrare al mio lamento Clori non vuol pietà.
