Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro
Al mio duolo, a' miei sospir.
O mi rendi il mio tesoro,
O mi lascia almen morir.

("God of love, I now implore thee, / Broken-hearted to thee I sigh. / Love that once was mine restore me, / Or in mercy let me die."; Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, II.1, the Countess Almaviva singing.)
