Scena VI
Galleria nell'appartamento di Rodelinda.
Rodelinda e Unulfo.


Rodelinda
Vive il mio sposo?

Unulfo
Si, vive, oh Regina,
anzioso d'abbracciarti.

Rodelinda
A tanta sorte
per la gioia dovria mancarmi il core;
e pure, Unulfo, io sento -

Unulfo
Importuno timore
invidia al tuo bel sen -

Rodelinda
Deh! Non tardare
a miei sguardi il contento, ed al cor mio;
venga a me Bertarido!

Unulfo
Or tel'invio.

English Libretto or Translation:

Scene VI
A gallery in Rodelindas apartment
Rodelinda and Unulfo


Rodelinda
My spouse still living, say you?

Unulfo
Living, my Queen, and longing to embrace
you!

Rodelinda
At such a sudden turn, joy springs too fast,
my heart might fail me out of to much transport,
yet, ah, I know not, but it sinks with fear.

Unulfo
Fears, at this time, are most importunate,
and out of envy to the blessings there,
crowd to disturb your breast, and damp your
joys.

Rodelinda
Pray you, with all the haste imaginable,
let me my Lord Bertarido behold,
dear to my eyes as light – and to my heart
dear as the vital drops
that flow within it.

Unulfo
He shall, with all dispatch, be safe conducted.
