TESTO DEL LIED

"As Amoret and Thyrsis lay"
di William Congreve (1670-1729)

As Amoret and Thyrsis lay,
Melting the hours in gentle play;
joining faces, mingling kisses,
And exchanging harmless blisses;
He trembling cry'd with eager haste,
Oh! let me feed as well as taste,
I die if I'm not wholly blest.
