Che dar piú vi poss'io?
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Che dar piú vi poss'io? Caro mio ben, prendete, eccovi il core, pegno della mia fede e del mio amore. E se per darli vita a voi l'invio, no'l lasciate morire; nudritel di dolcissimo gioire, ché vostr'il fece amor, natura mio. Non vedete, mia vita, che l'immagine vostr'è in lui scolpita?
