There goes the proud knight, who in my place shall lead you to noble and worthy exploits. Cue 27

Any dispute between the Orbazzani and Argiri families ends today. Cue 28

Our country has wept much over our fighting. Cue 29

You can feel it all around; a common danger in every heart, in every son. Cue 30

Yes. For country, for fidelity, we will proudly spill all of our blood. Cue 31

But who will defend it against cowards and traitors? Cue 32

The ancient law, regardless of age or sex, condemning to death… Cue 33

…any who betray our country by being in league with the Saracen tyrant. Cue 34

With enemies like Solamiro, we must worry even more. Cue 35

Some among us honor our country, and revere the name of the exiled Tancredi. Cue 36

(O Heaven!) How say you? And what can his country have to fear from him? Cue 37

Born of royal blood, banished in his youth, hatred and revenge feed his soul. Cue 38

He'll hate you even more when he learns the Senate has given you all he owns. Cue 39

He will be further enraged when he hears you are to marry my Amenaide. Cue 40

Let him rage in Byzantium Let him rage in Byzantium. Your daughter shall be my reward, the token of our friendship. Cue 41

Bring forth Amenaide. Heaven wishes her happiness to begin. Cue 42

Cue 51

(And when will you return to my bosom once more, my beloved?) Cue 52

Breathe, for today you will enjoy happiness. Cue 58

Cue 59

It is decided, daughter. Obeying your lord… Cue 60

…which desires this alliance so important to all, will make everyone happy this favorable day. Cue 61

- What are you saying? - I have given your fidelity and your hand to Orbazzano. Cue 62

- To Orbazzano? (Oh Isaura!) - (Don't give yourself away.) Cue 63

- (And the letter?) - (The servant has already left to meet Tancredi.) Cue 64

Amenaide, I love you with all my heart. Cue 65

My destiny is to be your lord, granting me your hand and your faith. Cue 66

I shall be happiest among all men, if I may hope for your love in return. Cue 67

His valor, rank, and fortune make him worthy of you. Cue 69

- My choice is proof of my paternal love. - (Oh God!) Cue 70

- Have you nothing to say? - Sir, I… I do not believe… Cue 71

- Are you confounded? - And with reason. Cue 72

I am overwhelmed with so many changes. I am confused by it all. Cue 73

- Oh, father. You know my heart - Oh, father! You know my heart. - I know my daughter will reconcile her affections with his. Cue 74

- But… - Then…? - Amenaide will give you her hand. Cue 75

- Then let the sacred pomp… - I implore you, defer it until tomorrow. Cue 76

- Daughter? - You want… Cue 77

Calm your mind. Father, a word… Cue 78

- And then? - Have I reason to fear? Cue 79

Fear not, I will fulfill my duty. Cue 80

Poor Amenaide! What anguish for her fateful day! Cue 81

How can Orbazzano take her hand, when her heart burns for Tancredi in Byzantium? Cue 82

What black cloud of misfortune darkens this unlucky day? Cue 83

Cue 84

O country, sweet, ungrateful country… Cue 85

…at last I return to you. Cue 86

I salute you, dear land of my ancestors. I kiss your sacred soil. Cue 87

This day, serenity and propriety bid my heart revive once more. Cue 88

Cue 89

Amenaide! Cue 90

Cue 91

My sweet thoughts and sighs take me to you, my most sublime desire. Cue 92

I have come at last. Whatever my fate, I will earn your love, or die trying. Cue 93

Cue 94

You who inspires this heart, who gives glory and sweet love to my soul… Cue 95

...come to my aid, let an impious traitor die, and crown my fidelity. Cue 96

Cue 97

So much longing and pain… May sweet mercy allow us to see each other again. Cue 98

I shall feast in the light of your smile. Cue 100
