Che sento? Oh dio! Morrà Cleopatra ancora.
Anima vil che parli mai? Deh taci,
avrò, per vendicarmi
in bellicosa parte
di Bellona in sembianza un cor di Marte.
Intanto oh numi, voi che il ciel reggete,
difendete il mio bene,
ch'egli è del seno mio conforto e speme

What do I hear! God! Cleopatra shall likewise die!
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
What do I hear! God! Cleopatra shall likewise die!
Base soul, what are you saying?
Be silent. I will arouse to achieve my vengeance,
my warlike part like unto Bellona,
in appearance having the heart of Mars!
Meanwhile, gods who reign over the heavens,
defend my beloved, for he is my
heart's comfort and hope.
