Mentre gonfiarsi l'anima, Attila's aria from Attila

Mentre gonfiarsi l'anima parea dinanzi a Roma,
M'apparve immne un veglio, che m'afferrò la chioma...
Il senso ebb'io travolto, la man gelò sul brando;
Ei mi sorrise in volto, e tal mi fe'comando :

<>

In me tai detti suonano cupi, fatali ancor,
E l'alma in petto ad Attila s;agghiaccia pel terror.
