The
clip playing on this page is La ragione s'un'alma
conseglia:
Amor Celeste encouraging Maddalena.
La
ragione, s'un'alma conseglia,
nel seno
risveglia
un nobile
ardir.
E lusinga fallace
d'Amore
non può di
gran core
lo spirto
sopir.

When
Reason counsels a soul,
it awakes in the
breast
a noble audacity.
And the
treacherous
charm
of Love cannot
lull a great
heart's
spirit
back to sleep again. |
