Posate, dormite
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ah se tu dormi ancora; e se dormendo tante pene mi dai, non destarti giammai. Che non saria bastante a soffrirti svegliata un core amante. Posate, dormite, pupile, pupile gradite, pupile gradite, e il vostro rigore lasci ancora posare un stanco core. Posate, dormite, pupile, pupile adorate, pupile adorate, e in placido oblio dorma il vostro furor, ch'io parto. Addio, addio.
