by Giovanni Battista Lorenzi (1721 - 1807)

Sempre in festa, sempre in gioco
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
(con espressione ad Ippolito)
Sempre in festa, sempre in gioco  
noi staremo, idolo amato.
(sottovoce al suddetto)
Or che parlo, vedi un poco
mio marito cosa fa:
non fa nulla?
(prendendo per il petto il marito)
Vien qua...
Tu sei uomo o sei cavallo?
Parla, di', rispondi a me.
Le finezze non son buone,
coll'ingiurie non si arriva,
non si arriva col bastone,
questa tua è malattia,
è malìa... che cos'è?
Ah che il pianto mi soffoca,
riflettendo al caso mio...
Fosse qui quella bizzoca
che mi fece unir con te!
