ATTO TERZO

Gran sala.

SCENA PRIMA
Fernando solo, entrando.

FERNANDO
A lei son presso alfin; partiva ignoto
e riedo vincitor; mentre in sua corte
m'appella il re, d'amor più che d'orgoglio
mi freme in petto il cor: colei che adoro
quivi soggiorna,
a conoscerla alfin l'alma ritorna.
Il re!
avvicinandosi il re, si ritira modestamente


SCENA SECONDA
Alfonso entra pensieroso. Don Gasparo lo segue. Fernando in disparte.

GASPARO
Qual fora di quell'empio il fato?

ALFONSO
senza badargli, favellando tra sé
Ceder dunque dovrò
d'un veglio alle minacce?

GASPARO
Ma il re giustizia
a sé ricusa?

ALFONSO
Leonora inoltri.
Ines, complice sua, prigion rattieni.
Don Gasparo parte
Sei tu
s'avvede di Fernando
mio nume tutelar; ti deve
la sua salvezza il re.

FERNANDO
Contento appieno
mi fe' l'onor.

ALFONSO
De' tuoi sudori, o prode,
tu stesso, il vo', la ricompensa or chiedi.
All'accento del re t'affida e credi.

FERNANDO
Sire, soldato misero
per nobil dama amor m'accende il petto,
e i miei trionfi io deggio
la mia gloria al suo amor. Questa ti chieggo.

ALFONSO
Sia tua, la noma.

Fernando
Ella, signor, s'appella!...
La vedi la più bella!
scorge Leonora che s'inoltra

English Libretto or Translation:

Leonora runs away lost and her face is hidden in her hands.



ACT THIRD

Great hall.

FIRST SCENE
Fernando alone, entering.

FERNANDO
To her I am near alfin; left unknown
and riedo vincitor; while in his court
The king appeals to me, more than pride
my heart trembles in my chest: the one I adore
here he stays,
to know it alfin the alma returns.
The king!
approaching the king, he withdraws modestly


SECOND SCENE
Alfonso enters thoughtfully. Don Gasparo follows him. Fernando on the sidelines.

GASPARO
What is fate of that example?

ALFONSO
without paying any attention to him, by telling himself to himself
So I'll have to give it up
of a wake to threats?

GASPARO
But the king justice
to himself refuses?

ALFONSO
Leonora forward.
Ines, his accomplice, imprisoned.
Don Gasparo leaves
It is you
he sees Fernando
my number tutelar; he owes you
his salvation the king.

FERNANDO
Content fully
he honored me.

ALFONSO
De 'your sweats, o brave,
yourself, the vo, the reward or ask.
To the king's accent, trust and believe.

FERNANDO
Sire, a miserable soldier
for noble dama amor he lightens my chest,
and I triumph over them
my glory to his love. I ask you this.

ALFONSO
Be yours, the name.

Fernando
You, sir, call up! ...
You see her the most beautiful!
Leonora sees her coming in
