Aure, deh, per pietà, Cesare's aria from Giulio Cesare

Dall'ondoso periglio
salvo mi porta al lido
il mio propizio fato.
Qui la celeste Parca
non tronca ancor lo stame alla mia vita!
Ma dove andrò? e chi mi porge aita?
Solo in queste erme arene
al monarca del mondo errar conviene?

Aure, deh, per pietà
spirate al petto mio,
per dar conforto, oh dio!
al mio dolor.
Dite, dov'è, che fa
l'idol del mio sen,
l'amato  e dolce ben
di questo cor.
Ma d'ogni intorno i' veggio
sparse d'arme e d'estinti
l'infortunate arene,
segno d'infausto annunzio al fin sarà.
