Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
Aria Cesare
Va tacito e nascosto, quand'avido è di preda, l'astuto cacciator.
E chi è mal far disposto, non brama che si veda l'inganno del suo cor. (parte con seguito).
English Libretto or Translation:
Aria Cesare
It must be tacit and hidden, when greedy is prey, the cunning hunter.
And whoever is ill disposed, does not want to see the deception of his heart. (part with continuation).
