TITO
Se all'impero, amici Dei,
Necessario e un cor severo;
O togliete a me l'impero,
O a me date un altro cor.
Se la fe de' regni miei
Coll'amr non assicuro:
D'una fede non mi curo,
Che sia frutto del timor.
TITUS
If a hard heart is necessary to a ruler,
ye benevolent gods,
either take the empire from me
or give me another heart.
If I cannot assure the loyalty
of my realms by love,
I care not for a loyalty
that is born of fear.
