from Vivaldi's opera
Tito Manlio (1719)
"Si con pace"
performed by Karina Gauvin
with Accademia Bizantina
Ottavio Dantone, director
"Sia con pace, O Roma augusta,
sio non servo alle tue leggi;
cha pugnar mi chiama onor.
Di tue leggi sei ben giusta,
ma il Latin, con suoi dispreggi,
troppo otraggia il mio valor."
[Peace be with you, august Rome.
If you do not observe your law,
it is because honour calls me to fight.
Your laws are just,
but the Latin with his taunts,
insults too much my valour.]
