ANNA Cessa … tropp'oltre vai … Troppo insisti, o fratello …
ROCHEFORT Un sol momento Ti piaccia udirlo: alcun periglio, il credi, Correr non puoi... bensì lo corri, e grave, Se fai col tuo rigore Che il duol soverchi ogni ragione in lui.
ANNA Lassa! e cagion del suo ritorno io fui! Ebben … mel guida, e veglia Attento sì che a noi non giunga alcuno Che a me fedel non sia.
ROCHEFORT Riposa in me.

SCENA UNDICESIMA Anna, e Smeton nascosto
SMETON affacciandosi guardingo (Né uscir poss'io'? … Che fia?)
ANNA Debole io fui … dovea Ferma negar … non mai vederlo … Ahi! vano Di mia ragion consiglio; Non ne ascolta la voce il cor codardo.
English Libretto or Translation:
Scene 10 Anna and Rochefort.
ANNA: Watch out, watch out you are going too far… you persist too much, O brother….
ROCHEFORT: Let it please you to listen to him for a single moment: believe it, you cannot run into any danger though he does, and grave danger, your strictness combined with sorrow overcomes all reason in him.
ANNA: Stop it! To think that I was the cause of his return! Well…lead him to me, and keep careful watch that no one gets to us who isn't faithful to me.
ROCHEFORT: Rely on me.

Scene 11 Anna and Smeton, hidden.
SMEATON: (appearing, cautiously)
(Can’t I come out? What’s to be done!)
ANNA: I was weak…I should have firmly denied him... Never to see him… Alas! in vain does reason advise me: the craven heart does not listen to its voice.
