Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Aria di Rodelinda
Spietati, io vi giurai,
se al mio figlio il cor donai
di serbarvi e duolo e affanno.
Non potrebbe la mia mano
Stringer mai quel'inumano
Ch'è cagion d'ogni mio danno.
Spietati...
(parte)

English Libretto or Translation:

Rodelinda
Cruel men, o hear me swear,
to my son I give my heart,
you may raise my grief and fear
but can never make me part.
Me that husband never shall
in his marriage bonds, enthral,
that has been my greatest foe,
only cause of all my woe.
Cruel etc.
(Exits)
