Fingete, fingete
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Fingete, fingete, voi belle ch'amate, e ciò che volete accorte celate. Menzogna di donna giammai si condanna, e sol vince in amor colei ch'inganna. Mentite, mentite; ripulse, e speranze se n' vadano unite con finte sembianze; tal volta chi è pia si mostri tiranna, che sol vince in amor colei ch'inganna.
