La turba adulatrice
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
La turba adulatrice
da me ritiri ‘l piè;
basta che l'ira ultrice
rimanga sol con me:
vo’ vendicarmi.

Regnante vilipeso,
gl'oltraggi soffrirò?
Padre dal figlio offeso,
l'orgoglio non saprò
punir coll'armi?

If only the fawning mob
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
If only the sycophantic mob
would withdraw their feet
from my presence:
The only companion I need
is Wrath the Chastener:
I desire vengeance!

Shall a ruler already despised
suffer further outrages?
Shall a father whose son insults him
fail to punish such hubris 
by force of arms?
