Se un tuo pietoso accento dovrò per sempre desiare in van... Se m'è negato imprimerti ardente un bacio sulla bianca man... Deh! Non fuggirmi, deh! non fuggirmi almeno... E de'tuoi sguardi al magico poter sorrisi, amplessi ed estasi mi finga inebbriato il mio pensier. Deh! Non fuggir.... nè mai a te non parlerò de'miei desir. Reprimerò i miei palpiti, T'asconderò le lagrime, i sospir. Ma un dì se in cor ti leggo quel'amor ch'ognor speme a me rapi, Morrò quel giorno, ah! credilo, sarà l'estremo de'miei tristi dì.
Thank you to Renato Toffoli for pointing out the correct poet.
