Bella Nice, che d'amore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Bella Nice, che d'amore desti il fremito e il desir, Bella Nice, del mio core dolce speme e sol sospir, Ahi! verrà, né sì lontano, forse a me quel giorno è già, che di morte l'empia mano il mio stame troncherà. Quando in grembo al feral nido peso, ahi! misero, io sarò, deh, rammenta quanto fido questo cor ognor t'amò. Sul mio cenere tacente se tu spargi allora un fior, Bella Nice, men dolente dell'avel mi fia l'orror. Non ti chiedo che di pianto venga l'urna mia a bagnar, se sperar potess'io tanto, vorrei subito spirar.
