SCENA VI
Gran piazza abbellita di statue avanti al palazzo, di cui si vede da un lato il frontespizio
Arriva Idomeneo accompagnato d'Arbace, e dal seguito reale; il re scortato d'Arbace si siede sopra il trono destinato alle pubbliche udienze; Gran Sacerdote, e quantità di popolo.
No. 23 - Recitativo
GRAN SACERDOTE
Volgi intorno lo sguardo, oh sire, e vedi
Qual strage orrenda nel tuo nobil regno
Fa il crudo mostro. Ah mira
Allagate di sangue
Quelle pubbliche vie; ad ogni passo
Vedrai chi geme, e l'alma
Gonfia d'atro velen dal corpo esala.
Mille, e mille in quell'ampio, e sozzo ventre
Pria sepolti, che morti
Perire io stesso vidi.
Sempre di sangue lorde
Son quelle fauci, e son sempre più ingorde.
Da Te solo dipende
Il ripiego, da morte trar tu puoi
Il resto del tuo popolo, ch'esclama
Sbigottito, e da te l'aiuto implora,
E indugi ancor?... Al tempio, sire, al tempio!
Qual è, dov'è la vittima?... a Nettuno
Rendi quello ch'è suo...
IDOMENEO
Non più. Sacro ministro,
E voi popoli, udite:
La vittima è Idamante, e or or vedrete,
Ah Numi! con qual ciglio?
Svenar il genitor il proprio figlio.
Parte turbato
English Libretto or Translation:
SIXTH SCENE
A large square adorned with statues in front of the royal palace, the facade of which is seen atone side.
Idomeneo, accompanied by Arbace and the royal retinue, enters and sits down on a throne reserved for public audiences. High Priest and a large crowd of people.
No. 23 Recitative
HIGH PRIEST
Gaze around you, sire, and see
what dreadful devastation the savage monster
has wrought in your noble kingdom! Behold
the pools of blood
in the public streets! At every step
you will see someone groaning, giving up
the ghost from a body swollen with black poison.
Thousands upon thousands lie dead and buried
in that immense and hideous belly
whom I myself saw perish.
That maw is foul
with blood and ever greedy.
On you alone depends
our fate; only you can save from death
the rest of your people, who cry out
in despair and implore your help;
yet you still hesitate? ... Sire, to the temple!
Who is the victim, and where is he? ... Render unto
Neptune that which is his ...
IDOMENEO
No more! Holy priest,
and my people, listen:
the victim is Idamante, now you shall see,
o gods, with what bearing
a father slays his own son.
He goes off agitated
