Voi, che mie fide ancelle un tempo foste
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Voi, che mie fide ancelle un tempo foste
or lagrimate invan, più mie non siete.
Il barbaro germano,
che mi privò del regno,
a me vi toglie, e a me torrà la vita.
(si ode strepito d'armi nella scena)
Ma! qual strepito d'armi?
Ah sì, più mie non siete,
spirar l'alma Cleopatra or or vedrete.
