Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages:

Più non avrai timore del rovente sole

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Pierson)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English

GUIDERIUS
Più non avrai timore del rovente sole
Né della furia del rabbioso inverno,
in terra è ormai cessata ogni tua missione

Più non avrai timore del fulmine che acceca

ARVIRAGUS
o del fragore di tuono che tutti atterrisce
