Here it is the only one I've found but the text is clean and with the
correct punctuation:
http://www.freehandmusic.com/sheet-music/o-felici-occhi-miei-from-354395. I
think it's correct also because, according to the Italian rules for counting
the syllables in a verse, it is formed of two stanzas each one of two
"settenari" (verses of seven syllables) and two "endecasillabi" (verses of
eleven syllables).
