by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Oh prodigio! Oh stupor! Privata assume
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Oh prodigio! Oh stupor! Privata assume delle pubbliche cure donna imbelle il pensier! Con chi governa non divide i consigli! A’ rischi esposta imprudente non sembra! Orna con tanto studio se stessa; e non risveglia un solo dubbio di sua virtù! Nulla promette, e fa tutto sperar! Qual fra’ viventi può l’Autore ignorar di tai portenti?
