Ah, che non si conviene romper la fede
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ah, che non si conviene romper la fede a chi la fe' mantiene. Il mio fermo voler è quegli' istesso lontan da voi, ch'esservi suole appresso, nè può cangiarlo morte, nè sia malbvagia sorte: ma, fermo come a l'onde immobil scoglio, e viver vostro e morir vostro io voglio.
