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
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.

Per quel paterno amplesso
Arbace Per quel paterno amplesso, per questo estremo addio, conservami te stesso, placami l'idol mio, difendimi il mio re. [Vado a morir beato, se della Persia il fato tutto si sfoga in me.]1
