SCENA VIII
Pantomima
Nettuno comparisce sul mare. Fa cenno a' venti di ritirarsi alle loro spelonche. Il mare poco a poco si calma. Idomeneo, vedendo il Dio del mare, implora la sua potenza. Nettuno, riguardandolo con occhio torvo, e minaccevole, si tuffa nell'onde, e sparisce.
Recitativo
IDOMENEO
Eccoci salvi alfin.
SCENA IX
Idomeneo con seguito
IDOMENEO
ai suo seguito
Oh voi, di Marte,
E di Nettuno all'ire,
Alle vittorie, ai stenti
Fidi seguaci miei,
Lasciatemi per poco
Qui solo respirar, e al ciel natio
Confidar il passato affanno mio.
Il seguito si ritira, e Idomeneo solo s'inoltra sul lido, contemplando.
Tranquillo è il mar, aura soave spira
Di dolce calma, e le cerulee sponde
Il biondo Dio indora, ovunque io miro,
Tutto di pace in seri riposa, e gode.
Io sol, io sol su queste aride spiagge
D'affanno, e da disagio estenuato
Quella calma, oh Nettuno, in me non provo,
Che al tuo regno impetrai.
Oh voto insano, atroce!
Giuramento crudel! ah qual de' Numi
Mi serba ancora in vita,
Oh qual di voi mi porge almen aita?
English Libretto or Translation:
EIGHTH SCENE
Mime
Neptune appears on the sea. He signs to the winds
to withdraw to their caves. The sea gradually calms
down. Idomeneo, seeing the god of the sea, begs for his
aid. Neptune, eyeing him grimly and threateningly,
plunges into the waves and disappears.
Recitative
IDOMENEO
We are here, safe at last.
NINTH SCENE
Idomeneo and followers
IDOMENEO
to his followers
O you who, braving the wrath
of Mars and Neptune,
followed me loyally
in victory and hardship,
leave me here alone a while to breath,
and to confide to my native sky
the anguish I have suffered.
Exeunt followers, and Idomeneo alone wanders
pensively on the shore.
The ocean is calm, the sweet breeze blows gently,
and the blond god
gilds the shores of the blue sea. Wherever I look,
everything is pleasant and peaceful.
I alone on these barren shores,
faint with anguish and want,
o Neptune, only I do not feel within me
that calm I attained in your kingdom.
O insane, hateful vow!
Cruel oath! Ah, which of the gods
preserved my life?
Which of you will help me?
