Empio, dirò, tu sei
Language: Italian (Italiano)

Empio, dirò, tu sei,
togliti a gli occhi miei,
sei tutto crudeltà.
Non è da re quel cuor,
che donasi al rigor,
che in sen non ha pietà.

"You are a wicked monster."
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
"You are a wicked monster,"
I shall say.
"Get out of my sight!
You are the image of cruelty.
That heart which has given itself over to wrath,
and which is devoid of mercy
is not that of a king."
