..... a lovely lyric, especially suited to....the recorder....?
Apri le luci, e mira gli ascosi altrui martiri: v'è chi per te sospira, e non l'intendi ancor. E in tacita favella col fumo de' sospiri, ti scopre, oh dèi! la bella fiamma, che le arde il sen. Open your Eyes and See Open your eyes, and see another's hidden suffering: you still have no idea that someone else sighs for you. In a silent speech, with the smokescreen a sigh affords, she reveals to you (Gods!) her dear flame which burns her heart.
