ARBACE
Tu vuoi ch’io viva o cara
ma se mi nieghi amore
cara mi fai morir.
 
MANDANE
Oh dio, che pena amara!
Ti basti il mio rossore;
più non ti posso dir.
 
ARBACE
Sentimi...
 
MANDANE
No.
 
ARBACE
Tu sei...
 
MANDANE
Parti dagli occhi miei,
lasciami per pietà.
 
A DUE
Quando finisce o dei!
la vostra crudeltà.
 
Se in così gran dolore
d’affanno non si muore,
qual pena ucciderà?
