De miei scherni perfar le vendette

English Libretto or Translation:

Edwig
And I, who made, can
soon unmake that King,
I’ll hurl the bolt of vengeance, flaming hot
at his perfidious head - soon will he find
his laurels, by my thunder, changed, become
a cypress, and his blasted throne a tomb.
My love, to fury changed, his heart shall shake,
such keen revenge on that false man, I’ll take,
by his example others shall beware,
nor, trembling, dare t`incense the slighted fair.
My love etc.
(Exit)
