Caro dolce ben mio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Caro dolce ben mio, perché fuggire, Chi v'am' e per amar languisc'e more? Se vi piac' il mio piant' e'l mio martire, Eccov' il petto e ne cavat' il core. Che quand' io deggia per dolor morire, E far del viver mio più brevi l'hore, L'alma lieta da me farà partita, Se di man vostra lasciarò la vita.
