O dolce nocte
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O dolce nocte, o sanct'Hore nocturn'et quete, Ch'i desiosi amanti accompagnate; In voi s'adunan tante Letitie onde voi sete Sole cagion di far l'alme beate, Voi i giusti premii date A l'amorose schiere a voi amiche, Delle lunge fatiche; Voi fat',o felice hore Ogni gelato pect'arder d'amore.
