by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
D'ogni amator la fede
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
D'ogni amator la fede è sempre mal sicura. Piange, promette e giura, chiede, poi cangia amore, facile a dir che muore, facile ad ingannar. E pur non ha rossore chi un dolce affetto oblia, come il tradir non sia gran colpa nell'amar.
