Già d'insolito ardore, Mustafa's aria from L'Italiana in Algeri

Già d'insolito ardore 
Nel petto agitare,
Avvampare mi sento :
Un ignoto soave contento
Mi trasporta, brillare mi fa,
Voi partite nè più m'annoiate.
Tu va seco che smorfie!
Obbedite, va seco obbedite.
Voi la bella al mio seno guidate,
V'apprestate a onorar la beltà,
Al mio foco, al trasporto,
Al desio, non resiste l'acceso cor mio :
Questo caro trionfo novello
Quanto dolce a quest'alma sarà!
