Dove sei, amato bene
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Recitativo accompagnato Pompe vane di morte! Menzogne di dolor, che riserbate il mio volto e'l mio nome, ed adulate del vincitor superbo il genio altiero: voi dite, ch'io son morto; ma risponde il mio duol, che non è vero. (legge l'iscrizione) "Bertarido fu Re; da Grimoaldo vinto fuggì, presso degli Unni giace. Abbia l'alma riposo, e'l cener pace." Pace al cener mio? Astri tiranni! Dunque fin ch'avrò vita, guerra avrò con gli stenti, e con gli affanni. Aria Dove sei, amato bene! Vieni, l'alma a consolar! Sono oppresso da' tormenti ed i crudeli miei lamenti sol con te posso bear.
