Per questa bella mano
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Per questa bella mano, Per questi vaghi rai Giuro, mio ben, che mai Non amerò che te. L'aure, le piante, i sassi, Che i miei sospir ben sanno, A te qual sia diranno La mia costante fé. Volgi lieti o fieri sguardi, Dimmi pur che m'odi o m'ami, Sempre acceso ai dolci dardi, Sempre tuo vo' che mi chiami, Né cangiar può terra o cielo Quel desio che vive in me.
