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

Se un core annodi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
ACHILLE
 
Se un core annodi,
se un’alma accendi
che non pretendi
tiranno amor?
 
Vuoi che al potere
delle tue frodi
ceda il sapere,
ceda il valor.
 
CORO
 
Se un core annodi,
se un’alma accendi
che non pretendi
tiranno amor.
 
ACHILLE
 
Se in bianche piume
de’ numi il nume
canori accenti
spiegò talor,
 
se fra gli armenti
muggì negletto,
fu solo effetto
del tuo rigor.
 
CORO
 
Se un core annodi,
se un’alma accendi
che non pretendi
tiranno amor.
 
ACHILLE
 
De’ tuoi seguaci
se a far si viene,
sempre in tormento
si trova un cor;
 
e vuoi che baci
le sue catene,
che sia contento
nel suo dolor.
 
CORO
 
Se un core annodi,
se un’alma accendi
che non pretendi
tiranno amor.
