Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

ANNA
Per pietà del mio spavento,
Dell'orrore in cui mi vedi,
Cedi ai preghi, al pianto cedi.
Ci divida e terra e mar.
Cerca altrove un cor contento,
Cui non sia delitto amar.

PERCY
Al tuo piè trafitto e spento
Io cadrò, se tu lo chiedi;
Ma ch'io resti mi concedi
Solamente a sospirar.
Presso a te mia fia contento
Il soffrire ed il penar.

English Libretto or Translation:

ANNA:
Riccardo! Ah!
From pity for my fear,
for the horror in which you see me
give way to my please, to my tears give way;
earth and sea divide us.
Seek elsewhere a contentment for your heart
which isn’t a bitter pleasure.

PERCY:
At your feet, pierced and dead
I will fall if you ask for it
but grant only that I remain and sigh
Near to you , suffering and pain
are contentment to me.
