Libretto by Paolo Antonio Rolli


Alto Giove, è tua grazia è tuo vanto
il gran dono di vita immortale
che il tuo cenno sovrano mi fa.

Ma il rendermi poi quella
già sospirata tanto
diva amorosa e bella
è un dono senza uguale
come la tua beltà.


[Mighty Jove, the wondrous gift of immortal life,
accorded me by your sovereign gesture,
bears witness to your grace and virtue.

But your then returning to me
the loving, beautiful goddess
for whom I have so longed is a gift which, like your beauty,
has no match.]
