Oh' Numi! [Parte Oriana.

Oh Heav'ns. [Exit _Oriana_.

Mel.

Ora il furor, la rabbia, e l'ira mia Distrugga queste mura, a tè si Care: Vanne altroue à Lagnarti. Il tuo riual gioisca al' tuo dolore, E il Contento di lui, ti roda il Core.

Now shall my Fury, Wrath and fiercest Rage Destroy these Walls, to thee so dear: Go to some other to bemoan thy Ills. At all thy Grief thy Rival shall rejoice, And his Content shall wound and gnaw thy Heart.

Io godo Scherzo e rido Crudel, nel tuo dolor; Tù m' insegnasti infido A dare affanni à vn Cor. Io godo, &c. [Parte.

_She says she rejoices and laughs at his Sorrows; and that his Unkindness to her has taught her to torment a Heart._

[Exit.
