Aria Terza: Ard'il mio petto misero

Language: Italian

Ard'il mio petto misero
Alta fiamma lucente,
Sì come dure stelle altrui permisero;
E benche lasso il cor ne peni ardente,
Non se ne pente.

Dic'ei quantunque affliggami
Asprezz'empia, infinita,
E dur'arco di sdegn'ogn'or trafiggami,
Dolce sarà, s'impetr'un sguard'in vita,
Ogni ferita.

Così, folle, consolasi,
Ma per l'eterno corso
Intanto batte nostr'etat'e volasi;
O cor di donna, per altrui soccorso,
E tigr'e d'orso.
