Altri canti d'Amor
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Altri canti d'Amor, tenero arciero, I dolci vezzi, e i sospirati baci; Narri gli sdegni e le bramate paci Quand'unisce due alme un sol pensiero. Di Marte io canto, furibondo e fiero, I duri incontri, e le battaglie audaci; Strider le spade, e bombeggiar le faci, Fo nel mio canto bellicoso e fiero. Tu cui tessuta han di cesareo alloro La corona immortal Marte e Bellona, Gradisci il verde ancor novo lavoro, Che mentre guerre canta e guerre sona, Oh gran Fernando, l'orgoglioso choro, Del tuo sommo valor canta e ragiona.
