Tu m'insulti, io non pavento
Language: Italian (Italiano)
(A Massimo)
Tu m'insulti, io non pavento.
(A Valentiniano)
Tu mi sgridi, io non m'affanno.
Padre ingiusto, empio tiranno,
chiedo sdegno e non pietà.
Chi mi serba al mio tormento
no, con me non è pietoso,
tutto spero il mio riposo
dalla vostra crudeltà.

You insult me, I am not afraid
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
(to Massimo)
You insult me, I am not afraid.
(to Valentiniano)
You rebuke me, and I do not fear.
Unjust father, wicked tyrant,
I wish for your scorn, and not pity.
Whoever rescues me from my torment,
no, he is not being merciful to me.
My repose hopes for everything
as a result of your cruelty.
