Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
SCENA VIII
Pallade, Seneca.
Pallade in aria predice la morte a Seneca,
promettendoli che se doverà certo morire
glielo farà di novo intender per bocca
di Mercurio, e ciò per esser
come uomo virtuoso suo caro e diletto;
venendo ringraziata sommamente da Seneca.
PALLADE
Seneca, io miro in cielo infausti rai
Che minacciano te d'alte ruine;
S'oggi verrà della tua vita il fine,
Pria da Mercurio avvisi certi avrai.
SENECA
Venga la morte pur; costante e forte,
Vincerò gli accidenti e le paure;
Dopo il girar delle giornate oscure
È di giorno infinito alba la morte.
English Libretto or Translation:
SCENE VIII
Pallade, Seneca.
Pallas in the air predicts death in Seneca,
promising them that if it must certainly die
he will let him know by mouth
of Mercury, and this to be
as a virtuous man, his dear and beloved;
coming highly thanked by Seneca.
PALLAS
Seneca, I aim in heaven unhappy
That threaten you with high ruins;
The end of your life will come today,
Pria da Mercurio certain notices you will have.
SENECA
Death comes though; steady and strong,
I will win the accidents and the fears;
After the turning of the dark days
Death is infinite in the day.
