Ahi, come a un vago sol See original
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ahi, come a un vago sol cortese giro de due begli occhi, ond'io soffersi il primo, e dolce stral d'amore, pien d'un nuovo desio, sí pronto a sospirar, torna il mio core! Lasso, non val ascondersi, ch'omai conosco i segni, che'l mio cor m'addita de l'antica ferita, ed è gran tempo pur che la saldai: Ah, che piaga d'Amor non sana mai!
