by Gennarantonio Federico (d. 1744)

Pensa, ch'io t'amo, o caro
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Pensa, ch'io t'amo, o caro,  
che ti sei il mio diletto;
non essermi sì avaro
d'amore, e di pietà.

(guardando Alessandro, il quale sta smaniando)

(Quei smania per dispetto,
io godo, ed ho piacer.)
Inganno, e tradimento
non merto io già da te;
saresti un rio tiranno,
sarebbe crudeltà.

(guardando Alessandro come sopra)

(Io credo, che tormento
più crudo ei non può aver.)
