by Alessandro Striggio (1536/7 - 1592)
Dove, ah, dove ten vai
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Dove, ah, dove ten vai, unico del mio cor dolce conforto? Poi che non lunge omai dal mio lungo cammin si scopre il porto, Perché mi fuggi e m'abbandoni, ahi lasso, sul periglioso passo? Qual ben or più m'avanza, se fuggi tu, dolcissima Speranza?
