by Carlo Goldoni (1707 - 1793)
Sebben son nata povera
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sebben son nata povera in basso stato, ed umile m'ingegnerò il carattere di grande a sostentar! Un sorrisetto amabile un'occhiatina languida, ed un parlar patetico procurerò di far! E perché tutto voglio che mi riesca facile il grano del mio spirito io volo a macinar!
