Ne rispondi d'un padre all affetto

English Libretto or Translation:

GERMONT
He embraces Alfredo.
What, no response to your father's love?

ALFREDO
A thousand serpents devour my breast.
repulsing his father
Leave me.

GERMONT
Leave you?

ALFREDO
resolutely
Oh, revenge!

GERMONT
No more delay.
Let us go, hurry.

ALFREDO
Ah, it was Douphol!

GERMONT
Are you listening to me?

ALFREDO
No!

GERMONT
Then I have found you in vain?
No, you will not hear reproaches;
Let us cover the past with oblivion:
Love which has guided me to you
Can forgive everything.
Come, see again with me
Your dear ones rejoicing;
Do not deny such joy
To those who have suffered till now.
Hasten to console a father and a sister.

ALFREDO
Ah!
Freeing himself, he sees Flora's letter on the table.
He reads is hastily and exclaims.
She's gone to the party!
I'll have my own back for that!

He rushes out.
