Care luci, che vaghezza by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
1.Care luci, che vaghezza
D'impiegar prendete il petto
Ch'ha per forte amore e letto
A soffrir vostra fierezza.
2.Deh mirate com'a torto
Ancidete chi v'adora
Non convien che per voi mora
Chi da voi spera conforto.

About Care luci, che vaghezza
Antonio Brunelli was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This secular Italian song, Care luci, che vaghezza, is a scherzo, a lively and often playful genre. Scored for two voices, S and T, it sets a poem expressing the singer's plea to beloved eyes not to cause suffering. The text laments the pain inflicted by those who are adored, urging them to temper their ardour with gentleness and offer solace rather than destruction.
