Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: FRE
Cor mio, non mori? e mori! L'idolo tuo, ch'è tolto a te, fia tosto in altrui braccia accolto. Deh, spezzati, mio core! lascia, lascia con l'aura anco l'ardore; ch'esser non può che ti riserbi in vita senza speme e aita. Su, mio cor, mori! Io moro, io vado; a Dio, dolcissimo ben mio.
