Italian.png Italian text


Porro dunque morì.
Dunque perduto tutto è per me!
Dove trovar riposo senza l’amato bene?


E questo il nodo sospirato da noi?
Questa è la pace?
Questo il regno felice?
Ah! ch’io mi sento svellere il cor!


Come scordar quel volto, quegli sguardi, quei detti,
e quel costume, se ancor veggio presente il mio bel Nume?
Ah ch’io più nol vedrò!
Barbare stelle! Cleofide infelice!
Almeno accanto del caro bene;
Ah! ah! m’interrompe il pianto.


Se il ciel mi divide
dal caro mio sposo,
perchè non m’uccide
pietoso il martir?
Divisa un momento
dal dolce tesoro,
non vivo, non moro,
ma provo il tormento
d’un viver penoso,
d’un lungo morir.
