Recitative
 Infelice ! già dal mio sguardo si dileguò...
 Partì. La mia presenza l'iniquo non sostenne.
 Rammenta al fine i falli, i torti suoi,
 Risveglia la tua virtù, scordati l'empio traditor !...
 Amante sventurata !... E l'amo pure...
 Così fallace amore, le tue promesse attendi ?
 Tu non mai rendi la rapita quiete ?
 Queste son le speranze e l'ore liete ?

Aria
 Ah ritorna, età dell'oro
 alla terra abbandonata,
 se non fosti immaginata
 nel sognar felicità.
 Fu il mondo allor felice
 che un tenero arboscello,
 un limpido ruscello
 le genti alimentó.
 ah ritorna, bell'età.

 D'amor nel regno
 non v'è contento
 che del tormento
 non sia minor.
 Si scorge appena
 felice speme
 che nuova pena
 la turba ancor.
 An ritourna, bell'età.
