by Ottavio Rinuccini (1562 - 1621)
A quei sospir ardenti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
A quei sospir ardenti Che fingesti esalar per troppo ardore, A quei dolci lamenti Misti d'amare lagrime d'amore Credulo amant' a pers' il seno e il core. Nè d'amoroso strale Schivai colpo mortale. Al fin arso e ferito E deluso e schernito E veggio e sento Ch'i pianti e i sospir miei son acqua e vento.
