Contents Act 1. O dell'armi gran Nume possente ; Infelice! Ahi! chi mi dice ; Viva l'Eroe Numida ; Amo un volto lusinghiero ; Vuoi ch'io vada in mezzo al campo ; Io saprei con alma forte ; Una soave calma ; Perfidi indegni! Moglie infica! ; Caro sposo, io t'amo ancora -- Act 2. Or vorrai ferimi, ingrato? ; Anche in mezzo alle mie pene ; La virtù del Roman Duce ; Dopo fiera e rea tempesta ; Da tanto duolo, e spasimo ; Vado a svenar quel perfido ; Possnte Nume armigero ; O bellicoso Dio, del tuo gran tempio ; An consorte! Ah figli! Addio ; Se la patria a me diè vita ; Grande Eroe! Pentito io sono.
