by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Di vantarsi à ben ragione
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Di vantarsi ha ben ragione del suo cor, de’ propri affetti chi dispone a suo piacer. Ma in amor gli alteri detti non son degni assai di fede. Libertà co’ lacci al piede vanta spesso il prigionier.
