SEMIRAMIDENé viene ancor! - Ma chi vegg'io? - Mitrane!
E che rechi?
SCENA DECIMA
Mitrane con papiro, e Semiramide.
MITRANE
Da Menfi il sacro messo
Testè fece ritorno. - Oroe t'invia
Il sospirato oracolo.
SEMIRAMIDE
(incerta)
Qual fia!...
La mano, il cor mi tremano... e se mai!...
E se quell'ombra! e se novelli orrori!...
E il ciel! - da tanta angustia escasi omai.
(Spiega il papiro e legge)
"Cesseran le tue pene,
Ritroverai la pace
Al ritorno d'Arsace, a nuovo Imene".
Grazie, v'adoro, o Dei, clementi Dei!
E voi dunque approvate i voti miei!
Placati alfin vi siete!
Felice mi volete!
MITRANE
Regina, al tuo contento...
SEMIRAMIDE
Va', Mitrane,
Arsace a me s'affretti. - Regal pompa,
Solenne nuzial rito s'appresti.
Oroe co' magi, Assur co' Grandi, Idreno,
Tutta l'Assiria al trono mio si renda.
Ivi i miei cenni e il suo destino apprenda.
MITRANE
Ecco a te appunto Arsace.
(Poi parte).
English Libretto or Translation:
SemiramideNor does it come again! - But who do I see? - Mitrane!
And what do you bring?
SCENE DECIMA
Mitrane with papyrus, and Semiramide.
Mitranes
From Memphis the sacred messenger
Testè returned. - Oroe sends you
The longed-for oracle.
Semiramide
(uncertain)
What a fia! ...
The hand, the heart tremble me ... and if ever! ...
And if that shadow! and if new horrors! ...
And the sky! - from so much distress escasi omai.
(Explain the papyrus and reads)
"Cesseran your pains,
You will find peace again
On the return of Arsace, to new Hymen ".
Thank you, v'adoro, o Dei, clementi Dei!
And you therefore approve my vows!
Placati alfin you are!
Happy you want me!
Mitranes
Regina, your happy ...
Semiramide
Go, Mitrane,
Arsace is quick to me. - Regal pump,
Solemn nuzial rito s'appresti.
Oroe co 'magi, Assur co' Grandi, Idreno,
All of Assyria to my throne is made.
There my signs and his destiny learns.
Mitranes
Here is Arsace to you.
(Then part).
