O leggiadri occhi belli
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O leggiadri occhi belli, occhi miei cari, vivi raggi del ciel sereni e chiari, poichè tanto bramate di vedermi languire, di vedermi morire, occhi belli che adoro, mirate ch'io moro. O serene mie luci, o luci amate, tanto crude al mio amor quanto spietate, poichè tanto godete della fiamma ch'io sento del mio grave tormento deh miratemi un poco e gioite al mio foco.
