Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
SCENA QUINTA
Ascanio solo.
ASCANIO
Ahi la crudel come scoccato dardo
S'involò dal mio sguardo! Incauto, ed io
Quasi di fé mancai.
Chi a tante prove, o Dea,
D'amore, e di virtù regger potea?
Di sì gran dono, o Madre,
Ricco mi fai, che più non può mortale
Desiar dagli Dèi: e vuoi, ch'io senta
Tutto il valor del dono. Ah sì, mia Silvia,
Troppo, troppo maggiore
Sei de la fama. Ora i tuoi pregi intendo:
Or la ricchezza mia tutta comprendo
Torna mio bene, ascolta.
Il tuo fedel son io.
Amami pur ben mio:
No, non t'inganna Amor.
Quella, che in seno accolta
Serbi virtù sì rara,
A gareggiar prepara
Coll'innocente cor.
Si ritira in disparte.
English Libretto or Translation:
SCENE FIFTH
Ascanio alone.
ASCANIO
Ah the cruel as a darted body
He flew from my gaze! Incauto, and me
Almost of me I was missing.
Who at many trials, o Goddess,
Of love, and of virtue regger potea?
Yes, a great gift, Mother,
Rich you make me, that more can not mortal
Desiar from the Gods: and you want me to hear
All the value of the gift. Ah yes, my Silvia,
Too much, too much
You are of fame. Now your qualities I mean:
Or my richness I understand
Come back my good, listen.
Your faithful is me.
Love me though my own:
No, Amor does not mislead you.
That, which is accepted
Serbian virtues so rare,
To compete he prepares
With the innocent cor.
He withdraws on the sidelines.
