Alle danze, alle gioie
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Alle danze, alle gioie, ai diletti, che c'infiammano il cor d'amore, al soave conforto de' petti! Alle gemme, alle perle, a' bei fiori, che v'adornino il crin e 'l seno, a' bei fregi di mille colori! Alle tazze, ai cristalli, alli argenti, che v'invitano a trae la sete, a' bei pomi di minio ridenti!
