by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Son fra l'onde in mezzo al mare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Son fra l'onde in mezzo al mare, E al furor di doppio vento; Or resisto, or mi sgomento Fra la speme, e fra l'orror. Per la fe, per la tua vita Or pavento, or sono ardita, E ritrovo egual martire Nell' ardire e nel timor.
