Aria Hoffe nur, geplagtes Herze, daß der Himmel nach dem Schmerze dich auch einst erfreuen kann! Weg mit ängstichen Gebärden! Der Verhängnis lässt mich nicht meiner Feinde Hohnlied werden, und ich höre, dass es spricht: Dir wird nächstens wohlgetan. Recitative Die Hoffnung stürzt mich noch, sonst läg ich wirklich schon; ihr angehnemer Ton verstopft mein Ohr vor jener bittern Melodie, mit der die Grillen bei der verdrüssliche Melancholie so Kopf als Herze füllen. Lass sein, mein Glücke wankt; draus folgt nicht, dass es fällt; die Hoffnung, die mich stets mit starken Armen hält, entreisst mich der Gefahr, von der ich ohne sie nicht zu befreien war. Aria Mein Glücke nimmt sich Zeit, drum lass ich mir's gefallen; es komme wenn es kommt, so nehm ich's freudig an. Kommt es nicht heute, so kommt es doch morgen; der Himmel wird mich doch versorgen; er weiss schon, dass ich warten kann.

Aria: Spera solo, cuore piagato, che il Cielo, dopo il dolore potrà rallegrare anche te. Basta coi gesti disperati! Il destino non mi farà scherno dei miei nemici, io lo sento che mi dice: ti verrà presto una buona fortuna. Recitativo: La speranza ancora mi sostiene, altrimenti sarei già perduto; la sua voce soave distoglie il mio orecchio da quella amara melodia, con cui i grilli mi riempiono la testa e il cuore di fastidiosa malinconia. E sia, la mia fortuna oscilla, ma non cadrà; la speranza, che mi tiene fra le sue forti braccia, mi difende dal pericolo, da cui senza di lei non sarei libero. Aria La mia fortuna vuole il suo tempo, mi piace di aspettarla; verrà quando verrà, l'accoglierò con gioia. Non viene oggi, viene forse domani; penserà il cielo per me; sa che io posso aspettare.
