Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Grimoaldo
Regina?

Rodelinda
Grimoaldo, nel mio presente stato ingiurioso
m'è il nome di Regina
da te, che m'involasti e regno e sposo.

Grimoaldo
E sposo e regno appunto a renderti vengh'io.

Rodelinda
(si leva da sedere)
Come?

Grimoaldo
Fin tanto che visse Bertarido,
il tuo consorte, ti celai, Rodelinda, il foco mio;
or, che la di lui morte giustificò le mie
speranze, aperte vedi le fiamme mie.

Rodelinda
Che sento? A te non basta,
regno e sposo involarmi, insidi ancora,
perfido, la mia gloria?

Grimoaldo
E che, Signora
oscuran la tua gloria i mie sponsali?

Rodelinda
Se lo scettro rapito
a tal prezzo mi rendi,
tu non m`l doni no, ma tu m`l vendi.
Serbato a mia cognata; a lei giurasti
con la sede di sposo i danni miei.

Grimoaldo
Per Eduige, e vero
io ti tolsi l`impero, o per te amore,
a lei toglie, ed a me, l`impero e il core.

Rodelinda
No Grimoaldo, io già rifuto il dono,
lascia mi la mia glor
ia, e tienti il Trono.

English Libretto or Translation:

Grimaldo
The Queen?

Rodelinda
Ah, Grimaldo, in my present state,
injurious is to me the name of the Queen;
and most injurious, when thus given by thee,
that of a husband and a crown deprived me.

Grimaldo
And now I come, this minute, to restore
thee to thy spouse and cr
own, and them to thee.

Rodelinda
How?

Grimaldo
While your spouse lived, I ever did conceal,
oh charming Rodelinda, from thine eyes
the fire of my love. But now, his death
makes room for me, and justifies my hopes
love blazes out abroad, that you may see it.

Rodelinda
What do I hear? What feel? It’s not enough
to rob me of a crown, and of a husband,
but you must, too, lay snares against my
honour?

No, Grimaldo, I the gift disclaim,
keep you the throne, but let me keep my fame.
