Fra cento affanni e cento Palpito, tremo e sento Che freddo dalle vene Fugge il mio sangue al cor. Prevedo del mio bene II barbaro martiro, E la virtù sospiro, Che perde il genitor.

Su le sponde del torbido Lete, mentre aspetta riposo e vendetta, freme l'ombra d'un padre e d'un re. Fiera in volto la miro, l'ascolto che t'addita l'aperta ferita in quel seno che vita ti diè.
