| Berenice, ove sei? |
| Dove t’ascondi? |
| Luce degli occhi miei! |
| Berenice, ove sei? |
| Marmi o voi, che nel candore |
| Pareggiate la mia fé, |
| Per pietate palesate il mio sol, |
| Dite dov’è? |
| Folle, ma con chi parlo? |
| Ah che l’empia, l’indegna, |
| Conscia di sue lascivie, |
| E de’ miei torti, |
| Rapida qual baleno, |
| S’è ricovrata al nuovo amante in seno. |
| Furori armatemi, |
| Tutto ingombratemi |
| Di stigio ardor. |
| Cada svenata, e lacerata |
| L’empia spietata |
| Che già rapirmi |
| Con l’alma il cor. |
| Berenice, ove sei? |
| Dove t’ascondi? |
| Luce degli occhi miei! |
| Berenice, ove sei? |
| Marmi o voi, che nel candore |
| Pareggiate la mia fé, |
| Per pietate palesate il mio sol, |
| Dite dov’è? |
| (translation) |
| Berenice, where are you? |
| Where are you hiding? |
| Light of my eyes! |
| Berenice, where are you? |
| Marbles or you, who in the whiteness |
| Equalize my faith, |
| For pity reveal my sun, |
| Where is it? |
| Crazy, but who am I talking to? |
| Ah that the wicked, the unworthy, |
| Aware of her lewdness, |
| And of my wrongs, |
| Quick as a flash, |
| She took refuge in her new lover in her bosom. |
| Armed fury, |
| All clutter me up |
| Of stigio ardor. |
| Fainted, and torn apart |
| The ruthless wickedness |
| That already kidnap me |
| With the alma the heart. |
| Berenice, where are you? |
| Where are you hiding? |
| Light of my eyes! |
| Berenice, where are you? |
| Marbles or you, who in the whiteness |
| Equalize my faith, |
| For pity reveal my sun, |
| Where is it? |
