Libretto
Va, dal furor portata, Palesa il tradimento; Ma ti sovvenga ingrata, Il traditor qual'è.

Scopri la frode ordita, Ma pensa in quel momento, Ch'io ti donai la vita, Che tu la togli a me. Go, transported by fury, reveal the treachery; but remember, ingrate, who is the traitor.

Disclose the deception that was planned; but at the moment consider that I gave you life and you take it from me.
