Al lume delle stelle
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Al lume delle stelle Tirsi, sotto un alloro, si dolea lagrimando in questi accenti; "O celesti facelle, di lei ch'amo ed adoro rassomigliate voi gli occhi lucenti. Luci care e serene, sento gli affani ohimé, sento le pene, luci serene e liete, sento le fiamme lor mentre splendete."
