Bella Nice, che d'amore

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.
