by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

O nel sen di qualche stella
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
O nel sen di qualche stella
o sul margine di Lete
se mi attendi anima bella,
non sdegnarti, anch’io verrò.
 
Sì verrò ma voglio pria
che preceda all’ombra mia
l’ombra rea di quel tiranno
che a tuo danno il mondo armò.
