by Luigi Romanelli (1751 - 1839)

Ah! se destarti in seno
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
(a Clarice)
Ah! se destarti in seno    
per me pietà non senti,
lascia ch'io speri almeno
dall'idol mio pietà.
(a Giocondo)
Caro amico, ah! tu lo vedi...
ah! di me che mai sarà?
(a Clarice)
Al mio duol se tu non cedi,
mostro sei di crudeltà.
(all'uno e all'altra)
Non vedrò mai più Clarice:
e fia vero?... oh me infelice!
(a Clarice fissando in lei lo sguardo)
Le sembianze in te ravviso:
il tuo volto in due diviso
m'innamora, e orror mi fa.
Più bramar non so che morte;
altra spema a me non resta:
l'ora estrema, oh dio! fu questa
della mia felicità.
