Catone in Utica

Opera by Leonardo Leo (1694 - 1744)

Soffre talor del vento
 (Sung text for setting by Leo)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Soffre talor del vento
i primi insulti il mare
né a cento legni e cento
che van per l’onde chiare
intorbida il sentier.
 
Ma poi se il vento abonda
il mar s’inalza e freme
e colle navi affonda
tutta la ricca speme
dell’avido nocchier.

Ombra cara, ombra adorata
 (Sung text for setting by Leo)
 Matches base text

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ombra cara, ombra adorata
Se mi ascolti e se qui sei,
Tu saprai da pensier miei,
Quanto sia mia fedeltà.

Se non resta vendicata
La tua morte e il mio dolore,
col svenar quel traditore;
Pace il cor mai non avrà.
