DON OTTAVIO Calmatevi, idol mio! Di quel ribaldo vedrem puniti in breve i gravi eccessi, vendicati sarem.
DONNA ANNA Ma il padre, o Dio!
DON OTTAVIO Convien chinare il ciglio al volere del ciel. Respira, o cara! Di tua perdita amara fia doman, se vuoi, dolce compenso questo cor, questa mano, che il mio tenero amor...
DONNA ANNA O dei, che dite in sì tristi momenti?
DON OTTAVIO E che? Vorresti con indugi novelli accrescer le mie pene? Ah! Crudele!
English Libretto or Translation:
DON OCTAVIO Yes, all now reassures us; The hand of justice will soon arrest his course Of guilt and folly, and we shall be aveng'd.
DONNA ANNA My father, I've lost him!
DON OCTAVIO What is decreed by heaven We must patiently bear, Oh, rouse thee, my dearest, from the sad recollection; Brighter days are before thee, say to-morrow Thou wilt bless my affection, Let thy hand be the pledge.
DONNA ANNA Ah, no, how can'st thou speak of joy when I'm weeping?
DON OCTAVIO Ah then, since faithful love or pray'rs cannot move thee, Too well I see that thou dost not love me!
