by Giovanni Battista Guarini (1538 - 1612)
Pur venisti, cor mio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Pur venisti, cor mio, E pur t'ho qui presente, e pur ti veggio, E non dorm'e non sogn'e non vaneggio. Venisti sì, ma fuggi Sì ratto che mi struggi. Ahi fuggitiva vista degl'amanti, Come sogno sei tu d'occhi veggianti.
