Tradimento!
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Amore e la speranza voglion farmi prigioniero, e a tal segno il mal s'avanza ch'ho scoperto ch'il pensiero dice d'esserne contento. Tradimento! La speranza per legarmi a gran cose mi lusinga, s'io le credo avvien che stringa lacci sol da incatenarmi. Mio core all'armi! S'incontri l'infida si prenda s'uccida su presto! è periglioso ogni momento. Tradimento!
