Cosi alla bella Nicea

Language: Italian

Cosi alla bella Nicea
Tirsi fedel dicea,
quel Tirsi amante, quel Tirsi fedele
de tante volto, e tante per sua ninfe crudele
sparse invan sospiri, e querele.
Quel Tirsi si fra timor, e fra speranza
di quella fiera bella che delude la sua costanza,
chi è de pietà con quest'accenti
amorosi e dolenti.
