George Handel "Polifemo" ("Fra l'ombre e gl'orrori")
(12. Aria) POLIFEMO Fra l’ombre e gl’orrori farfalla confusa già spenta la face non sa mai goder. Così fra timori quest’ alma delusa non trova mai pace ne spera piacer.
*****
(12. Aria) POLYPHEMUS Among the shades and the horrors the dazed moth, already dying, shall never know the pleasure of the flame. Likewise among its fears, this soul disappointed never finds peace nor hopes for pleasure.
