SOPRANO Risparmia, o Dio, quel sangue! TENOR Fà ch’io sol cada e sangue, BOTH sfoga lo sdegno in me! BASS Ambi frenati io voglio, vittima al mio rigore! SOPRANO D’un innocente ardore, TENOR o barbara mercè. BASS Tolgansi agli occhi miei quegli abborriti sposi! SOPRANO A, quest’affanno. TENOR Ai pianti BASS hò die macigno il cor. SOPRANO Son queste amato bene le amabili catene onde m’avvinse amor. TENOR Son questi idolo mio quei cari lacci oh Dio che ci serbava amor, son questi oh’Dio, BASS è quest’avversi Dei dunque la fè che in lei facea sperarmi amor.
