Perdere il bene amato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Perdere il bene amato che il fato e amor ti diè, l'estremo è del dolor. Ma del vederla ancor ad un rivale in braccio morte peggior non è. Furore disperato t'agita l'alma allor: ognun dovrebbe armato teco punir l'error, perché l'istesso affanno deve temer per sé.
