The action takes place in 18th century Bologna. Paolino has secretly married Geronimo's daughter Carolina. Their situation is complicated by Carolina's aunt Fidalma, who loves Paolino, and by the arrival of the Englishman Count Robinson who, although betrothed to Geronimo's other daughter Elisetta, falls in love with Carolina. After much scheming and amorous intrigue, the truth about the marriage is revealed and all ends happily (Wikipedia).

SCENA ULTIMA
Paolino e Carolina dalla stanza di lei, indi Elisetta, Fidalma, poi Geronimo, ed infine il Conte, tutti dalle loro stanze
PAOLINO
Deh, ti conforta, o cara,
Seguimi piano, piano.
CAROLINA
Stendimi pur la mano.
Che mi vacilla il pie'.
PAOLINO, CAROLINA
Oh, che momento è questo
D'affanno e di timore!
Ma qui dobbiam far core,
Ch'altro per noi non c'è.
S'avviano per partire
PAOLINO
Zitto ... mi par sentire ...
Si sente un uscio aprir ...
CAROLINA, PAOLINO
Potrebbe alcun venire;
Si tardi un po' a partir.
Rientrano nella stanza
ELISETTA
Sotto voce qua vicino
Certo intesi a favellar.
Una porta pian pianino
Ho sentito poi serrar ...
Ho scoperto ... vo' scoprire ...
Va ad ascoltar alla porta di Carolina
A parlar pian pian si sente ...
Vi sta il Conte certamente ...
Io li voglio svergognar.
Va a battere alla porta di Fidalma
Sortite, sortite,
Venite qua in fretta.
English Libretto or Translation:
LAST SCENE
Paolino and Carolina from her room, then Elisetta, Fidalma, then Geronimo, and finally the Count, all from their rooms
PAOLINO
Deh, comforts you, or dear,
Follow me slowly, slowly.
CAROLINA
Stretch out my hand.
The pie is shaking me.
PAOLINO, CAROLINA
Oh, what a moment is this
of breathlessness and of fear!
But here we must do core, the
other is not there for us.
S'avviano to leave
PAULINE
Shut up ... I seem to hear ...
I hear a door open his ...
CAROLINA, PAULINE
It could be any;
You're late to leave.
They come back into the room
ELISETTA
Below the voice here,
Sure, intended to say a word.
A door slowly
I heard then tighten ...
I discovered ... I want to find out ...
Go to listen to Carolina's door
To speak slowly, one hears ...
There is the Count certainly ...
I want to shame them.
He goes to knock at Fidalma
Sortite's door ,
come on , come here quickly.
