Introduction
FIRST ANCELLA

When you already crown Amor your sighs,
Is there still deep sadness on your eyes?
Come on, come and enjoy our joy:
The sky will give you its favorite sweets,
Heaven will give to you
SECOND ANCELLA
(to Glauce)
Tomorrow, when the dawn is in the sky
On the happy fatherland, sulol will be a companion to the sun,

CHOIR
That? When already crown Amor, etc.
GLAUKE
Alas! I wish I would;
I fear tomorrow;
Invan the gods over me do rain
Sweet gaudio d'amor.
To my mind Imen
Now it's not that trouble:
Imen will be tomorrow
Cagion of sour tears to the cor
FIRST ANCELLA
Throw away the ominous omen,
And gladly give the chorus
To the joys of love:
Bitter presage duol
It is not that vain cloud,
Which will never be able to velar
Yes, sunny day.
FIRST, SECOND ANCELLA, CHORUS
The rea vision cruel crord will do the Hymen!
Love of a faithful heart can well heal the pains.
Illusion, dream
That offended the cor:
Hymen will have the virtue of making you happy again.
CHOIR
The offender must thus be dubbed by you both distant;
The god of love gentil
From heaven I heard you;
In vain did he ever hope that the god of love prayed.
Recitative
GLAUKE
I yield to the good prayer:
Dear friend, you comfort my heart!
And you, that to me divin promise the destin,
O Love, trust me,
Be trustful in a heart that hopes
Air
O Love, come to me! Stop this duol;
Only your faithful Glauce is trusted in you.
Vien! Penetrate my senses;
Come, come! Turn on my cor
Of your divine ardor!
Amor, your flame light up, in me descend,
Love! And for you, I will only be blessed!
Come down in me, yes,
For you alone, one day I will be!
Oh, beautiful fire of love, my senses revive:
To your warmth the guilty dubbiar vanish I will see.
Come down in me, come, Love, etc.
The fatal sorceress is far from me
Which to his malia he tied
The high soul of a hero!
His anger, his presence
Never upset our love.
To us the Imen pose restaurant!
Love, come come to me! Etc.
If you come down to me, love,
Any doubt starts from the heart;
It is only for you that I hope still and tremble more I do not know!
No, Medea can not break the sweet knots;
Force more on Giason, Medea will not have
The virtue of his fatal victory is already,
Come, ah come, love,
Only in you hope the heart!
Recitative
CREON
(Entering with Jason.)
No, fear not: trust me to speak.
Of your children, I will protect life.
They are dear, I am still without guilt;
They will have to expiate
The mother's fault?
GLAUKE
(In Creon)
Meeting me you are uncertain:
Soffrir makes me wait long!
CREON
You know that the sons of Jason gave it up
At the temple already to educate;
Gentil, the heart is burning
Of my faithful people: he hates and loves;
And now the vile sorceress to death wants:
And because having the mother still can not;
Ask the children to do justice ready!
GLAUKE
Save them, my father!
CREON
What a gentle pledge I took them one day,
And I will save them from a faithful friend.
JASON
O king, they pay you homage
Here the heroes,
Bearing the golden fleece, the Argonauts.
Oh, let's leave the beautiful treasure
A great honor
Of beautiful Glauce at the foot.
Marcia and Coro
CHOIR
O beautiful Glauce, the great Giason
Of the high enterprise brings to you the spoils;
His glories and the lord
Offers to you for free,
With the fleece of gold that struck at Colco.
GLAUKE
Ah, Colco!
CHOIR
O beautiful Glauce, etc.
Recitative
GLAUKE
Colchos! Pensier fatal!
Or fatal omen!
JASON
That I see? What a sad thought
Do you dark your eyes like that?
CREON
What troubled you?
Why do you make yourself dull in the face?
GLAUKE
Alas!
The splendor of this heroic deed
Serious the duol makes me!
Colco is the fairyland where the dragon was tamed
Medea's power of the great monster was right.
We'll see you soon come here,
He will ask for Jason;
Preci and cunning will employ
If its threats are not valid,
Of the sorceress the dark art
Struggle country and palace!

No, no, he can not fight against love.

My protector is you:
I will have courage in you
Air
JASON
I will no longer see you any more
That cruel bride,
What was ashamed and crying to me,
I have no memory of the long error,
My destiny is renewed.

Happy to your pièces Giasone or vuol giurar:
Human strength never
He can tear you from him!

Watch out for my children:
May your grace descend upon them!
Do not disdain, or gods, this prece!
Oh, let their Imen be happy,
So I will be happy too! Etc
And I will be the most blessed father.
CHOIR
God of love! Sweet Imen!
Come down and bind with mild virtue
Your chains here down!
Listen, god of love, our praises:
Listen, Love, sweet knots binds, Love!
GLAUCE, GIASONE, CHORUS

But only for you the heart rests,
It is only in you, perfect love, etc.

A HEAD OF GUARDS
Mr! Stop a woman
At your thresholds is:
His appearance is strange and mysterious:
A thick veil covers his face,
It has a short and hard lip to the word.
CREON
The name?
A HEAD OF GUARDS
I do not know. His arm was straining to threaten!
Mr! Already come!
We will hear it alfin speaking.
MEDEA
It is perhaps here
What is the safe vil?

MEDEA
(To Giasone)
Or speak you! Why are you silent?
Nothing you have to say to me, your woman?
CREON
Why did you come to my kingdom?
MEDEA
With that I can give my pain!
With my right that I want to get rid of!
Because Jason is mine!
JASON
Are you? I?
Really a di
Your spell overcame me!
Loose they are from you!
CREON

Listen for my rule my will.

The sun:

If he is a groom he will be Jason
To your daughter Glauce

The bride to tear him away,
And she strasse like that
Which eventually dies.

Recitative
MEDEA
Be silent, Giason, and leave the ground unmoved?
A bitter war is fought in you:
The new and the old
Love in you fan war.
JASON
Not anymore!
Myself one of tradii,
That day I love you swear!
Of my valor he was a traitor,
In the mud, my honor threw!
MEDEA
False is your word
And very cruel:
Unworthy of Giason!
Remember the day you
First time
When did you see me?
Dreaming we have heavenly joys on earth,
Insiem linked in sacred eternal love!
Did not I watch over your defense?
Did not I pride your enemies from your enemies?
And man regal, to give myself to you, disdain?
Did not my brother sacrifice to you?
Jason listen!
Listen, hear again!
Air
Your mother's children
You see won and afflicted,
Made sad for you,
And proscribed by you.
You know how one day I loved you, cruel,
One day it was dear to you, cruel! Etc
Alone here, without love, driven away, painful,
If ever I appeared,
I would still be good, etc.
I would be pitiful!
The heart did not know the horrendous passions;
Scorrea the night in good dreams,
Splendid to me serene the day.
I was happy,
I had a father, a nest,
I gave everything to you;
Groom back for me!
Heartless! I do not want you,
I forget my disdain;
Medea implements you here,
Medea at your feet will stay!
Have mercy! For so much love that I wanted to you.
Come back to me! Groom back for me! Etc
Come back again! Have mercy!
Recitative

Threats, prieghi, duol are vain here!
Go away from here!
Creon threatened;
Remember your talk!
I gladly wait for the dawn
My beloved at the thalamus of Glauce.

Enemies without a heart, smart my rival,
What straziar you want,
Of the ogre the gods here I call to witness
Of the swear my fatal of Olympus still the gods!
This Imen traditor
Niun will come to bless you! No!
I awaited the gods, bless no one
This Imen traditor, etc.
JASON
Fate or numbers,
Falling his feral threat:
Serbate immune each
From his he sold the king!
And palace and sacred suol,
Or of the saved ones each!
MEDEA, GIASONE
O fatal fleece d'or,
Trionfal bitter glory!
Of blood and crying
A lot of you have to costar!
MEDEA
To make the ingrate I detest,
Your most raw horrors inspire me, o Colco, you!

Go away, get out of here!
Your punishment awaits.

Introduction
Recitative
MEDEA
Soffrir I can not,
The offense is too much!
You want a mother to rip children!
The shame I suffered from a lie;
The exile is still nothing for me!
Only a torment regger I can not:
Let the children learn to hate their mother,
It is such pain to suffer I do not know!
NERIS
Alas, my lady!
MEDEA
What new do you bring me?
NERIS
At the royal palace, he shouts proudly
The people in turmoil:
With a deadly cry, he calls the most cruel vengeance:
Blood wants to be from Medea!
I hate your hatred at your heel!
Raminga on the ground,
Cursed up in the sky!
Do not delay, fast goes;
Run away or you're lost!
MEDEA
I remain!
NERIS
You want to stay! O gods! He comes!
Here is already Creon!
CREON
Vanne, leave this soil,
That of the people the right wrath
It already spills on you!
Flee, go! He can save you
Today my arm,
Tomorrow maybe more can not!
MEDEA
If you cause serious losses,
My lord, only you,
Noble king, I will forgive;
Hoping for you here I stayed.
CREON
Not anymore! Who performed such deeds,
If you pray,
Niuno believes him.
concerted
MEDEA
Give almen for mercy
A kindergarten in Medea!
In my mister like that

I will forget the menzogner juror from Giason!
Forgive Jason,

But please be late for only one day,
Ouch, that my sad cor
Get ready to his destination
CREON
You ask another day
For some new infamy!
MEDEA
that I can never do you,
if the duol fringes my heart?
How to refuse
One day to my pain?
CREON
I know that from my goodness
I may have misfortune;
But I know that in cor
I do not have the rigor of a tyrant.
I grant you one day,
And be done like this
The desire of the gods!
MEDEA, NERIS
Such kind goodness in heaven you compensate!

Of my clemency you triumph,
But you can have new pain!
If on the third day
Still in my kingdom you will be,
Woe to you!
Cruel punishment you will have!

Recitative
NERIS
Medea, or Medea!
It's all won and broken!
I do not hear anymore.
Who ever suffered like you, Medea?
Divided by the spouse and the children,
From earth to earth you have to trista errar,
Looking for peace without ever finding it!
My heart is open to your pain;
Wherever you go, I will follow you loyal.
Air
Just a cry with you pour,
Every grief, every duol will divide with you! Yes!
Fedel found me the disaster,
In death I will be faithful to you,
As long as I live.
Dear and unhappy princess,
Who can refuse to cry to your destiny?
Unhappy!
The fate was cruel to you!
Next to you I will be each one,
I will cry, with you I will stay,
I will follow you loyal.
I will follow you every faithful, with you I will be every faithful,
In death I will be faithful to you! I will always be faithful to you!
Recitative
MEDEA
Creon to me only one day gives?
He is well; Medea will know how to use it.
Morra! Perish that my rival,
What made my dearest joys!
No, serious, more, horrid
The shot will fall!
At the cruel point the revenge is par.
Ah, if a father, if he had brothers!
That? Does not have any children?
Ah, where are you taking me,
Disdained my heart?
NERIS
Go, Medea! Fosco comes and threatening
To you Giason!
MEDEA
I want him to talk!
JASON
A strange novel I learned now!
One day Creon still belongs to you!
For what reason? what good is a day for you?
MEDEA
Love of mine children make me!
JASON
No, my blood and life sooner,
What to give you the innocent little ones!

Now I know I'll have to!
Fiction, only you can
Help give to me! What a mint!
Duet
MEDEA
My children, my treasures,
Far be addressed to you, the reo destin calls me!
Alas! Never again will I have you with me!
Never again will I be able to, no, never will I be able to,
Tighten you tight to the heart!
I will live far from you,
Your father craves it!
I will die without you,
No more with you I'll be!
Without you I will live,
And Giason who wants it!
I will die, there, far,
Never again will I see you again!
JASON
Even you can enjoy their dear presence:
Until your departure, you will remain
Near you!
MEDEA
Ah, sir! Yes, gentil favor
Never will fall from my memory!
Ouch, my dear treasures!
See you again,

Dear pagar you will have to
These my false sighs!
JASON
He will soon come to the altar
The king for sacrifice:
Benign to my children pray and the gods want!
I want to pray heaven,
That in Medea is propitious!
MEDEA
So you go, Giason? So you leave me?
Sad goodbye! Proud duol!
JASON
May you be happy! Etc.
MEDEA
From you divided, cruel,
What joy will I have?
JASON
Oh, mother's cry!

Of bitter cry to you I'll be cagion!
(to Neris)
O good Neris, go, my children bring me!
NERIS
I fear that Jason ...
MEDEA
And everyone knows: they are mine for the whole day.
NERIS
Why did you still want your children?
More pain in reviewing them is your pain.
MEDEA
Be quiet, and listen to Medea for the last wish.
Tiara and peplos are known to you,
Of a gifted magic infernal,
That Phoebus Apollo is a gift to me;
Glauce's wedding
Offer them or you will have to!
NERIS
A gift send
Who is your heart torn to?
MEDEA
My secret you will know soon.
Hurry!

he rips a face).
ACT THIRD
(A mountainous place, at the end rises a temple)
Introduction
(Neris and the two children return to the palace)
Recitative
MEDEA
Numi come to me, gods inferi!
You all who helped my wanting!
Your strength still helps me,
You, my job, you must do it.
The black veil extends into the sky,
And popol yearns
And king in his horrible ruin!
O dear children, my supreme torment,
I am sacred here
Of hatred on the other Dive,
I must never expire your blood!
Yes! Your father was that he killed you!
Vil in the land,
The heaven is gone,
You are appressed, alas! What torment!
The mother's heart beats in my chest.
Nature, in vain you speak to me.
Morir dovran, life is denied to them!
Voted of the duck
Erinni al nume!
His only wish commands me!
NERIS
Compiuto was, Medea, your desire;
The peplum already and the diadem has Glauce.
It gives you thanks ... but why are you silent?
Look, it's your children!
MEDEA
Children! Ah!
Lontan! Lontan! Snakes, away from me!
From my neck far away! You suffocate me!
NERIS
What do you say?
MEDEA
Look and even so! Thus Jason
Fake has the look!
To death, come on!
(Grab the children by raising the dagger)
No, dear children, no!
NERIS
Oh gods of heaven! What do you want to do?
Take your hand up
On your blood?
Return to you, Medea, come back to you!
Pel reo will suffer who is without fault?
MEDEA
Son won already!
The war ceased;
On the edge of mine my cry came back!
I see them again;
I hold them tight to me;
I no longer think of the duol
That bones me in my bosom;
Return to the happy
Say the chorus clear.
Air
Of the proud duol that my heart fringes me,
Nothing will ever win the orror! No! Etc.
O my children, I love you so much!
Ah! My treasure!
And I thought to pass you on!
O Gods of Heaven! Holy justice!
It was for you if my man
From the colpir he rested;
If the ardor slowed down to the disuman furor!
Do, or gods, I never want
This crazy orror!
Do not allow this fierce torment:
Far away from me this crazy horror!
Turn off the horrendous rage, gods righteous!
To death the accused author of my torment
Dee penar, dee soffrir: this is enough for my happiness!
Perjury!
Ah, the thought of Giason recounts my fury!
This sol recounts my fury!
Of the proud duol that my heart fringes, etc.
And yet I still feel
To you, looking, alas, reborn my fury!
Recitative
NERIS
D'amore the ray still in her has died out
What a short time his children shone,
And only this will end in the blood!
MEDEA
Neris, what have you done with my gift?
NERIS
Your diadem Glauce very much liked:
He called the maids to himself happy and pleased;
He wanted your gift to decorate the front,
Because of her Jason
He was haughty!
MEDEA
He kills her, or Numi,
The wicked jubilation!
Listen! That diadem one day
With my art I endowed arcane strength:
Mortal poison Glauce will be struggling
If you place the nice diadem of the crin!
NERIS
Medea, bitter well punish you,
The horrible pain suffice to you!
Save your children!
Ah! It's flying over the day, and soon
You will be from them divided!
MEDEA
And time already! You save my children!
Heaven now assists them against me!
The final
MEDEA
Is that? I am Medea!
And I leave them alive?
What was it? Where are they?
My eyes are blind!
For the sons of Giason, could I have mercy?
They are my children ..
If they are children to me,
Father is Jason to them!
Unhappy! Unhappy!
How can you think
to be a mother?
How can you listen
Of the cor the arcane voice?
How come you can feel maternal and upbeat,
Maternal and quality at the heart?
What to do? Ah! I will flee.
I leave my children,
My beloved blood,
In the infamous man!
Preceder and i can,
It can hurt before me!
No! I will do the business
That fate gave me!
Oh, dark Erinni! Relentless goddess!
Destroy my love and pity in my sen!
Make the pugnal!
What a man you escape me!
Well I'll forget
A vile instant sol of uncertainty!
Oh debol cor! Trembling man!
You will not always be doubtful!
The bride of Giason learned from him will have
