Mogli mie sconsolate, Giunone's aria from La Calisto

Racconsolata e paga,
torna all'Etra Giunone,
alla punita vaga,
del tuo sleal Tonante,
hai sciolto il gelo,
non ti sarà più tormentoso il cielo

Mogli mie sconsolate,
noi sempre siam l'offese,
e abbiamo il torto :
lasciate dal consorto,
moriam spresso di sete
in mezzo al fiume.
La notte nelle piume,
stanchi ne' gusti  
loro  i rei mariti,
stan sempre sonnacchiosi
o risentiti.
