Oh, temerario Arbace

Language: Italian

 Oh, temerario Arbace!
 Dove trascorri? Ah, genitor, perdona:
 Eccomi a' piedi tuoi; scusa i trasporti
 D'un insano dolor. Tulio il mio sangue
 Si versi pur, non me ne lagno; e invece
 Di chiamarla tiranna,
 Io bacio quella man che mi condanna.

Artabano:
 Basta, sorgi; purtoppo
 Hai ragion di lagnarti:
 Ma sappi . . . (Oh Dio!) Prendi un abbraccio.

Arbace:
 Per quel paterno amplesso,
 Per questo estremo addio,
 Conservami te stesso,
 Placami l'idol mio,
 Difendimi il mio re.
