by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
È follia, se nascondete
Language: Italian (Italiano)
È follia se nascondete fidi amanti il vostro foco. A scoprir quel che tacete un pallor basta improviso, un rossor che accenda il viso, uno sguardo ed un sospir. E se basta così poco a scoprir quel che si tace, perché perder la sua pace con ascondere il martir.
