\n–
\nAh! mio cor! Schernito sei!
\nStelle! Dei! Nume d’amore!
\nTraditore! T’amo tanto;
\npuoi lasciarmi sola in pianto,
\noh d\u00e8i! Perch\u00e9?
\nMa, che fa gemendo Alcina?
\nSon reina, \u00e8 tempo ancora:
\nresti o mora, peni sempre,
\no torni a me.<\/p>\n

(Oh, my heart, you are scorned!
\nOh, you stars! Oh Heaven!
\nSentiment of love!
\nBetrayer!
\nI love you so;
\nhow can you leave me alone, in tears?
\nO Heavens! Why?
\nBut what is Alcina doing complaining?
\nI am queen, and there is yet time.
\nHe shall stay or die,
\nsuffer eternally, or return to me!)<\/p>\n
