So, che dono al vostro affetto
un momento di diletto
col lasciarvi in libertà.
Ma più fier sarà il mio sdegno
se quel cor tornerà indegno
e di grazia, e di pietà.

I know that to your love

I know that to your love
I give you a moment of delight
when I release you.

if your heart should return unworthy
of mercy or of pity.
