Language: Italian (Italiano)
Recitativo accompagnato Dunque i lacci d'un volto, Tante gioie promesse, Li spaventi d'inferno, Forza n'avran per arrestar quel crudo? E tu il segui, o mio core! Fatto trofeo d'un infelice amore! No! si svegli 'l furore, Si raggiunga l'ingrato, Cada a' miei piè svenato! Ohimè! Che fia? Uccier l'alma mia? Ah! Debole mio petto, A un traditor anco puoi dar ricetto? Su, su, furie , ritrovate Nova sorte di pena e di flagello! S'uccida, sì… ah!, ch'è troppo bello! Aria: Ah! crudel, Il pianto mio Deh! Ti mova per pietà! O infedel, Al mio desio Proverai la crudeltà.
