Cosi alla bella Nicea
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Cosi alla bella Nicea Tirsi fedel dicea, quel Tirsi amante, quel Tirsi fedele de tante volto, e tante per sua ninfe crudele sparse invan sospiri, e querele. Quel Tirsi si fra timor, e fra speranza di quella fiera bella che delude la sua costanza, chi è de pietà con quest'accenti amorosi e dolenti.
