Consiglio a Nice
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sul ciglio tuo severo Si pose accorto amore, A chi ti vede il core Rapisce e libertâ. Ma poi se il prigionero Si lagna e se ti chiede Al suo penar mercede Non trova in te pietâ. Non credi se ti dice Che senza amore in petto Non v'è piacer perfetto Non v'è felicitâ. Almeno, o bella Nice, Se amore non vuoi bel seno De' tuoi bei lumi almeno Deh tempra la crudeltâ.
