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

Risolva, e le prometto
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Risolva, e le prometto    
che avrà per onorario
il cor d'un impresario,
che, pieno di rispetto,
modesto e melanconico,
sempre d'amor platonico
per lei sospirerà.

Ci pensi e sappia intanto
che nascono in quell'isole
passeri che nel canto
sembrano tanti orfei;
e la beltà di lei,
se vien colà, mi creda,
gran preda ~ ne farà.
