by Felice Romani (1788 - 1865)

Ah! pensate che rivolti!
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Per questa fiamma indomita
alla virtù preposta,
per quegli amari spasimi,
per pianto che mi costa,
odi la mia preghiera.
Anna per me non pera;
innanzi al cielo, agli uomini,
rea non mi far di più.

Ah! pensate che rivolti
terra e cielo han gli occhi in voi;
che ogni core ha i falli suoi
per dovere altrui mercè.
La pietade Enrico ascolti,
se al rigore è spinto il Re.
