Di pescatore ignobile, Gennaro's aria from Lucrezia Borgia

Di pescatore ignobile esser figliuol credei,
E seco oscuri in Napoli vissi i prim' anni miei.
Quando un guerriero incognito venne d'inganno e trarmi;Mi diè cavallo ed armi,
E un foglio a me lasciò.

Era mia madre, ahi misera! mia madre che scrivea ...
Di rio possente vittima per sè, per me temea;
Di non parlar, nè chiedere il nome suo qual era
Calda mi fe' preghiera,
Ed obbedita io l'ho.
