O selce, o tigre, o ninfa
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O selce, o tigre, o ninfa, Fredda, crudele e bella, Ch'innamori mai sempre e mal non ami. Tu saetti se miri E le faville a chi ti mira awenti E mirante è mirata, Bella si, ma spietata. O col ferro, o col dardi Altrui tormenti E scherzi con Amor e non lo senti.
