by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Lo stesso in diversi modi
Language: Italian (Italiano)
L'augelletto in lacci stretto Perché mai cantar s'ascolta? Perché spera un'altra volta Di tornare in libertà. Nel conflitto sanguinoso quel guerrier perché non geme? Perché gode colla speme quel riposo che non ha.
N. Vaccaj sets stanza 1
