Venga pur, minacci, e frema
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Venga pur, minacci, e frema
l'implacabil genitore.
Al suo sdegno, al suo furore
questo cor non cederà.
Roma in me rispetti, e tema
men feroce e men severo,
o più barbaro, o più fiero
l'ira sua mi renderà.

Let him come, then
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Let him come, then, my implacable father;
let him threaten and rage.
This heart will not yield
to his rage or fury.
Either he will pay due respect to,
and show due fear of,
the might of Rome in my person,
or his ire will cause me to become
far more barbarous and savage.
