Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Aria di Grimoaldo
Prigioniera ho l'alma in pena,
ma si bella è la catena,
che non cerca libertà.
Mesto, infermo, il cor sen'giace,
ma il suo mal così gli piace,
che bramar pace non sa.
Prigioniera...etc.
(Parte)

English Libretto or Translation:

Grimoaldo
No more!
The voice of virtue
finds no admittance through a lover’s ear,
or, if it does, passes, unheeded, through it,
and reaches not the heart.
Captive is my soul in chains,
but so pleasing are its pains,
that it wishes not to be,
if it could, at liberty.
Captive etc.
(Exit)
