Dispietata pietate

Language: Italian

Dispietata pietate 
fu la tua veramente, o Dafne, allora
che ritenesti il dardo:
però che'l mio morire 
più amaro sarà quanto più tardo.
Ed or perché m'avvolgi 
per sì diverse strade e per sì vari
ragionamenti invano? Di che temi?
Temi ch'io non m'uccida?
Temi del mio bene. 
Deh, lasciami morire in tante pene.


Input by John Versmoren
