Chiudesti i lumi, Armida

Language: Italian

 Chiudesti i lumi, Armida, il cielo avaro
 invidiò il conforto à tuoi martiri.
 Apri, misera, gli occhi; il pianto amaro

 ne gli occhi al tuo nemico hor ché non miri?
 O s'udir tu'l potessi, ò come caro
 t'addolcirebbe il suon de'suoi sospiri!
 Dà quanto ei puote, e prende (e tu no'l vedi)
 pietoso in vista gli ultimi congedi.
