Arbace: Oh, temerario Arbace! Dove trascorri? Ah, genitor, perdona: Eccomi a' piedi tuoi; scusa i trasporti D'un insano dolor. Tutto il mio sangue Si versi pur, non me ne lagno; e invece Di chiamarla tiranna, Io bacio quella man che mi condanna. Artabano: Basta, sorgi; purtoppo Hai ragion di lagnarti: Ma sappi . . . (Oh Dio!) Prendi un abbraccio.

Arbace
Per quel paterno amplesso,
per questo estremo addio,
conservami te stesso,
placami l'idol mio,
difendimi il mio re.
