Il crudel m’abbandona, e mi detesta;
Numi!
e soffrire il degg’io?
Ingrato;
segui il foco, che t’arde
Segui l’amor, che ti consuma, o ingrato.
Ma invano ti lusinghi
Ché l’arti mie sapran farti morire.
Ma cielo, e come!
Morir farò chi vita è di quest’alma?
Ah che già sento in petto
Che l’odio, e l’ira va cangiando aspetto
The cruel one abandons me, and hates me;
Numi!
and suffer the degg'io?
Ungrateful;
follow the fire, which is slow
Follow love, which consumes you, or ungrateful.
But in vain you flatter yourself
Because my arts will know how to make you die.
But heaven, and how!
Will I die who life belongs to this soul?
Ah that I already feel in my chest
That hatred and anger are changing their appearance
