Lyrics

Fab Nel da me condannato
Volusio, o Pirro, il tuo giudicio assolvo
Nulla in ciò più mi resta
Di arbitrio. In lui ti aggrada
Far la pena eseguir? Giusto sarai
Rivocarla? Pietoso
Tra giustizia e clemenza
Segui quell’ calle ove il gran cor ti chiama
Da lunge a me la fama …
Pir Che? Tu partir? Si rende
Qui al tuo merto ogni onor
Fab Roma mi attende
Non di nemici e non di amici
Sei buon giudice, o Re. T’inganni in tutti
Leggi, e vedrai che a torto
Fai guerra ai buoni e nei malvaggi hai fede
Pir O perfidia! O virtù! Vil Turio!
Ingrato Popolo!
Tur (Ah, siam traditi
O ciel!)
Fab Fè non si serba ai traditori
Pir Se in mio favor fai tanto
Nemico ancor, che mai faresti amico?
Fab L’onesto oprar di chi ben opra è ’l fine
Pir A me Sestia e Volusio
Sforzo, ah quanto funesto al mio riposo!
[Fab Pyrrhus, by my condemning Volusius
I’ve done my duty
Judgment on sentence belongs no more to me
To have his punishment performed is yours
To carry out the sentence? You will be just
To revoke it? Clement
Wavering between clemency and justice
Follow the path your generous heart tells you
Fame from afar to me …
Pir What? Will you depart? Receive the honours
Due here to your merit
Fab Rome awaits me
Of neither your friends nor your enemies are you
A good judge, o King. You are deceived in both
Read, and you’ll see that you wrongly waged war
Against the good and trusted in the wicked
Pir O treachery! O virtue! Turius most base and
Most ungrateful people!
Tur (We are betrayed
O Heavens!)
Fab Faith is not kept with traitors
Pir If now as an enemy you’ve done this much
On my behalf, what would you do for a friend?
Fab Virtue’s the only aim of noble acts
Pir Bring me Sextia and Volusius
Compulsion’s grating even when we like the deed]
