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

Barbaro non comprendo

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Barbaro non comprendo
se sei feroce o stolto.
Se ti vedessi in volto
avresti orror di te.
 
Orsa nel sen piagata,
serpe nel suol calcata,
leon che aprì gli artigli,
tigre che perda i figli
fiera così non è.
