by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
Volga il ciel felici amanti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Volga il ciel felici amanti sempre a voi benigni rai; né provar vi faccia mai il destin della mia fé. Non invidio il vostro affetto ma vorrei che in qualche petto la pietà, ch’io mostro a voi, si trovasse ancor per me.
