Renato
[lasciato il ferro, additandole, senza guardarla, un uscio]
Alzati, là tuo figlio
A te concedo riveder. Nell'ombra
E nel silenzio, là,
Il tuo rossore e l'onta mia nascondi.
[Amelia esce]
Non è su lei, nel suo
Fragile petto che colpir degg'io.
Altro, ben altro sangue a terger dèssi
L'offesa!... [fissando il ritratto] Il sangue tuo!
- Nè tarderà il mio ferro
Tutto a versarlo dal tuo falso core:
Delle lacrime mio vendicatore!
Eri tu che macchiavi quell'anima,
La delzia dell'anima mia...
Che m'affidi e d'un tratto esecrabile
L'universo avveleni per me!
Traditor! che in tal guisa rimuneri
Dell'amico tuo primo la fè!
O dolcezze perdute! O memorie
D'un amplesso che mai non s'oblia!...
Quando Amelia sì bella, sì candida
Sul mio seno brillava d'amor!...
È finita - non siede che l'odio,
E la morte sul vedovo cor!
Renato
[left the iron, pointing to it, without looking at it, a doorway]
Stand up, there your son
I'll see you again. In the shadows
And in the silence, there,
Your redness and my shame hide.
[Amelia exits]
It's not about her, in her
Fragile chest that hit me.
Other, quite another blood to terger
The offense! ... [staring at the picture] Your blood!
- My iron will not be late
Everything to pour it from your false core:
My avenger's tears!
And it is you who caressed that soul,
The delight of my soul ...
What you trust and suddenly execrable
The universe poisons for me!
Traitor! that in this way they will regain
Of your first friend, the fè!
Or lost sweets! Or memories
Of an embrace that never gets away! ...
When Amelia is so beautiful, so candid
On my breast shone with love! ...
It's over - it does not sit that hate,
And death on the widower cor!
