Di', cor mio, quanto t'amai Mi ravvisi, Ruggier Di te mi rido Qua dunque ne veniste È gelosia, forza è d'amore La cerco in vano Semplicetto! a donna credi? Ah, infedele, infedel! Se nemico mi fossi La bocca vaga A quai strani perigli Tornami a vagheggiar Col celarvi a chi v'ama Qual portento mi richiama Atlante, dove sei? Pensa a chi geme Qual odio ingiusto contro me? Vorrei vendicarmi Chi scopre al mio pensiero Mi lusinga il dolce affetto S'acquieti il rio sospetto Ama, sospira, ma non ti offende Non scorgo nel tuo viso Mio bel tesoro Reina, sei tradita! Ah! mio cor, schernito sei! Or che dici, Morgana? È un folle, è un vile affetto Eccomi a' piedi tuoi Verdi prati, selve amene Ah! Ruggiero crudel Ombre pallide, lo so, m'udite Sinfonia Voglio amar e disamar Credete al mio dolore M'inganna, me n'avveggo Un momento di contento Molestissimo incontro! Ma quando tornerai Tutta d'armate squadre Sta nell'ircana pietrosa tana Niuna forza lo arresta Mi restano le lagrime Sin per le vie del sole Le lusinghe, gl'inganni Non è amor, né gelosia Prendi, e vivi Dall'orror di notte cieca Entrée Tamburino Dopo tante amare pene
