Se viver non degg’io
Language: Italian (Italiano)
SIFARE: Se viver non degg’io, Se tu morir pur dei, Lascia, bell’idol mio, Ch’io mora almen con te. ASPASIA: Con questi accenti, oh Dio! Cresci gli affanni miei, Troppo tu vuoi, ben mio, Troppo tu chiedi a me. SIFARE: Dunque... ASPASIA: Deh taci. SIFARE: Oh Dei! ASPASIA, SIFARE: Ah, che tu sol, tu sei, Che mi dividi il cor. Barbare stelle ingrate, Ah, m’uccidesse adesso L’eccesso del dolor!
