by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Se possono tanto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se possono tanto due luci vezzose, son degne di pianto le furie gelose d'un'alma infelice, d'un povero cor. S'accenda un momento chi sgrida, chi dice che vano è il tormento, che ingiusto è il timor.
