César<br />

Lydie désire me voir ?<br />

Nirénus<br />

Et elle t’accompagnera aussi<br />

auprès de Cléopâtre.<br />

César<br />

Emmène-moi tout de suite à mon trésor,<br />

qu’elle adoucisse mes tourments.<br />

10 AIR<br />

César<br />

Si, dans le charmant pré fleuri,<br />

l’oiseau se cache<br />

parmi les fleurs et les feuillages,<br />

il rend son chant<br />

d’autant plus agréable.<br />

De même, si la ravissante Lydie<br />

déploie dans la nuit sa voix<br />

[harmonieuse,<br />

plus gracieuse encore,<br />

elle inspire de l’amour<br />

à tous les cœurs.<br />

(Il sort avec Nirénus.)<br />

Scène III<br />

Le jardin du sérail. À côté, la fosse<br />

des fauves. Cornélie, une binette<br />

à la main, est en train de cultiver<br />

les fleurs. Puis Achillas.<br />

Cesare<br />

Lidia mi brama?<br />

Nireno<br />

Ed ella a Cleopatra<br />

anche ti scorterà.<br />

Cesare<br />

Guidami tosto in seno al mio tesoro,<br />

acciò che dolce renda il mio martoro.<br />

ARIA<br />

Cesare<br />

Se in fiorito ameno prato<br />

l’augellin tra fiori e fronde<br />

si nasconde,<br />

fa più grato<br />

il suo cantar.<br />

Se così Lidia vezzosa<br />

spiega ancor note canore,<br />

più graziosa<br />

fa ogni core<br />

innamorar.<br />

Scena terza<br />

Giardino del serraglio, dove corrisponde<br />

quello delle fiere. Cornelia (con picciola<br />

zappa nelle mani, che vien coltivando<br />

i fiori),e poi Achilla.<br />

76<br />

Caesar<br />

Does she long for me?<br />

Nirenus<br />

And she will also<br />

escort you to Cleopatra.<br />

Caesar<br />

Take me immediately to see<br />

[my treasured love,<br />

so that she may make my martyrdom<br />

[sweet.<br />

ARIA<br />

Caesar<br />

If, in the pleasant flowery meadow,<br />

the little bird hides<br />

amid blossoms and leaves,<br />

that only makes his song<br />

more welcome.<br />

So, if fair Lidia<br />

sings still more melodious,<br />

still lovelier notes,<br />

she makes every heart<br />

fall in love.<br />

(Exit with Nirenus.)<br />

Scene 3<br />

The garden in the seraglio, near<br />

the menagerie. Cornelia, cultivating<br />

flowers with a small hoe in her hands,<br />

then Achillas.
