Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

MESSAGGIERA
Ma io, che in questa lingua
Ho portato il coltello
Ch'ha svenata ad Orfeo l'anima amante,
Odiosa ai pastori et alle ninfe,
Odiosa a me stessa, ove m'ascondo?
Nottola infausta, il sole
Fuggirò sempre e in solitario speco
Menerò vita al mio dolor conforme.

English Libretto or Translation:

MESSENGER
But I, who in my tongue
have borne the knife
that has slain Orpheus's loving heart,
abhorrent to the shepherds and the nymphs,
abhorrent to myself, where shall I hide me?
An ill?omened creature of the night, I will forever
shun the sun, and in a lonely cavern
lead a life in keeping with my sorrow.
