Available translation(s): ENG
Menti' a l'avviso. Eppur d'Ausena e' questa l'angusta valle, e qui fatal dimora mi presagiva la secreta voce che turba da piu' notti il mio riposo. Tu cui nomar non oso, funesta donna dall'avel risorta per mio supplizio un'altra volta ancora promettesti vedermi, e in rio momento. Ah! chi geme? M'inganno. E' l'onda e il vento. E' la notte che mi reca le sue larve, i suoi timori, che gli accenti punitori del rimorso udir mi fa.
