SCENA V
Arbace, e detti
IDAMANTE
timoroso
Ma quel pianto che annunzia?
ARBACE
Mio signore,
De' mali il più terribil...
IDAMANTE
ansioso
Più non vive
Il genitor?
ARBACE
Non vive: quel, che Marte
Far non poté fin or, fece Nettuno,
L'inesorabil Nume,
E degl'eroi il più degno, ora il riseppi,
Presso a straniera sponda
Affogato morì!
Parte
IDAMANTE
Ilia, de'viventi
Eccoti il più meschin. Or sì dal cielo
Soddisfatta sarai... barbaro fato! ...
Corrasi al lido... ahimè! son disperato!
Parte
ILIA
Dell' Asia i danni ancora
Troppo risento, e pur d'un grand'eroe
Al nome, al caso, il cor parmi commosso.
E negargli i sospir, ah no, non posso.
Parte sospirando
English Libretto or Translation:
IDAMANTELet it suffice Greece to have seen her enemy
vanquished. Prepare yourself, o princess,
to see a deed more worthy of me,
to behold the vanquished happy.
seeing Arbace coming
Arbace approaches.
FIFTH SCENE
Arbace and the previous
IDAMANTE
fearful
But what do these laments forebode?
ARBACE
My lord,
most terrible news ...
IDAMANTE
anxious
Is my father
no longer alive?
ARBACE
No longer! What Mars
could not do till now Neptune,
that inexorable god, has done;
and the noblest of heroes, I now learn,
was drowned,
near a foreign shore!
Exit
IDAMANTE
Ilia, I am the unhappiest
of mortals! Now indeed
Heaven will have satisfied you ...
Cruel fate! ...
Let us hurry to the shore ... Alas, I am in despair.
Exit
ILIA
I still feel all too keenly Asia's wrongs,
and yet at the name, at the fate of a great hero
my heart must be moved,
and I cannot deny him my tears.
Exit sighing
