Tutta in voi la luce mia

English Libretto or Translation:

HENRY:
Honour! Yes: you will have it and such
that in the world there is no equal;
my splendour will pour out over you completely
only on you.
Seymour will have no rival,
as the sun has no rival.

JANE:
My honour is at the feet of the alter:
elsewhere shame is put by for me:
and that altar is forbidden to me,
Heaven knows that, the King knows it.
Ah! If it is true
that I am dear to the King
then my honour too will be dear.

HENRY:
(resentfully)

Yes…I understand you.

JANE:
Oh Heavens! And are you so full
of disdain?

HENRY:
It is disdain and pain.

JANE:
Sire!

HENRY:
Do you only love the King?

JANE:
I?...

HENRY:
Does the throne alone concern you?
Anna too offered me love,
longing for the English throne,
she too coveted the crown
of the lofty lady of Aragon…
She had it at last,
but she no sooner had it,
than it tottered on her head,
to her cost, to her grief
my heart was tempted by another lady.
