Asia felice or ben posso chiamarmi ch'è vinto in mar di me l'empio nemico. Ma più sarò quando con gaudio l'armi de' figli miei faransi ognun' amico. |
I, Asia, can now indeed call myself happy, for my wicked enemy is defeated by me on the seas. But more so will I be with joy when the arms of my sons make everyone a friend. |
