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.
