Vedrò qual sommo incanto

Available translation(s): ENG
Vedrò qual sommo incanto di femmina nel petto rechi un novello affetto, o un lusinghiero ardor. (Bramo l'istante e il temo.) Curioso è l'accidente... (Ah che in pensarvi io fremo...) Ti credo assai possente: del tuo trionfo io stesso sarò qui ammirator. (Ah se per te m'accendo, deh non tradirmi ancor.)
