Siroe:
Fra dubbi affetti miei 

risolvere non so. 

Tu pensaci; tu sei 

(ad Emira) 

l'arbitro del mio cor. 


Vuoi che la morte attenda? 

la morte attenderò. 

Vuoi che per lei m'accenda? 

eccomi tutto amor. 


Fra dubbi affetti miei . . . "
Translation:

Amid my uncertain feelings
I can't decide;
reflect on this,
you are the arbiter of my heart.

Do you want me to await death?
I will await death.
Do you want me to love you?
Then see, I am all love.
