Aria Lasst mich über Falschheit klagen, die bis in die Seele kränkt. Höflich Bücken, glatte Wort spürt man an so manchem Orte, wo die Lippe trüglich sagen, was man heimlich anders denkt. Recitative Man sehe doch, mit welcher Freundlichkeit dort Philidor dem Stax den guten Abend beut: Sie küssen, sie umarmen sich, und ancher sollte schwören, dass sie ein ander Ich, ein einziges Herz in zweien Leibern wären. Geduld! Wir werden sie bald besser kennen. Schaut, wie sie sich so zärtlich trennen! Schleicht beiden nach! O weh, was hört man nicht! Stax schreit den Philidor von Haus zu Haus als einen Erzbetrüger aus, da der von jenem spricht, er sei der grösste böse Wicht. Aria Entweich von mir, verstellte Tücke! Du sollst von mir verbannet sein! Ich will mit treuem Herzen wandeln und gegen jedem redlich handeln; gereicht mir's gleich zum Ungelücke, so bleibt doch mein Gewissen rein.

Aria: Lasciatemi piangere sulla falsità, che ammorba fino l'anima. Inchini amabili, parole dolci, si trovano tante volte, quando il labbro ingannevole parla, ma si pensa in segreto il contrario. Reciitativo: Si veda con quale amabilità Philidor dà la buona sera a Stax; si baciano, si abbracciano, e potresti giurare che sono un'anima sola in due corpi. Aspetta! Presto li conosceremo meglio. Guarda, con quale affetto si separano! Andiamo avanti: ahimè, che succede! Stax va gridando a tutti che Philidor è un gran mascalzone, e questi di Stax dice, che non c'è nessuno peggiore di lui. Aria: Via da me, falsa perfidia! Sii bandita da me! Io voglio agire con cuore sincero e trattare tutti con onestà; anche a costo di soffrire, ma la mia coscienza rimarrà pura.
