Bei labbri, che amore

Bei labbri, che amore
formò per suo nido,
vi credo, mi fido:
non ho più timore,

bei labbri d'amor
giuraste d'amarmi,
mi basta così,
vi credo, mi fido:
non ho più timor.

Se torno a lagnarmi,
che Nice m'offenda,
per me più mon splenda
la luce del dì.

by Pietro Metastasio (1698-1782) [pseudonym]
