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).

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
CAROLINAE' vero, è vero.
D'esser presto tranquilla io dunque spero.
Io ti lascio, perché uniti
Ch'ei ci trovi non sta bene ...
Per partire, poi ritorna
Ah, tu sai ch'io vivo in pene
Se non son vicina a te!
PAOLINO
Vanne, sì, non è prudenza
Di lasciarci trovar soli ...
Per partire, poi ritorna
Ah! tu sai che il cor m'involi
Quando vai lontan da me.
CAROLINA
No, non viene ...
PAOLINO
Sì, sì; adesso.
PAOLINO, CAROLINA
Dammi, dammi un altro amplesso.
Ah! pietade troveremo
Se il ciel barbaro non è
Carolina parte
English Libretto or Translation:
CAROLINAIt's true, it's true.
So I hope soon.
I leave you, because united
What you find there is not good ...
To leave, then come back
Ah, you know that I live in a penis
If I'm not close to you!
PAULINE
Vanne, yes, it's not prudence
To let us find ourselves alone ...
To leave, then come back
Ah! you know that my heart is slippery
When you go away from me.
CAROLINA
No, it does not come ...
PAULINE
Yes, yes; now.
PAOLINO, CAROLINA
Give me, give me another embrace.
Ah! pietade we will find
If the barbarous heaven is not
Carolina leaves
