by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Entra l'uomo, allor che nasce
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Entra l'uomo, allor che nasce, In un mar di tante pene, Che s'avvezza dalle fasce Ogni affanno a sostener. Ma per lui sì raro è il bene, Ma la gioia è così rara, Che a soffrir mai non impara Le sorprese del piacer.
