6. - What are you saying? Elect the usurer Lorenzin as Doge? - Then propose a more worthy candidate!

7. The brave man who defeated the African pirates and restored the glory of the Ligurian flag.

8. - I see… and my reward? - Gold, power, honor.

9. For that price I’ll sell the people’s favor.

11. Hated patricians! To the heights where your pride dwells, I, a despised plebeian, wish to climb!

13. Greet me with an embrace!

14. What has happened? Why did you call me here from Savona?

15. At dawn, how would you like to be the new Doge?

16. - The crown doesn’t tempt you? - Are you raving?

17. - And Maria? - Oh, innocent victim of my doomed love!

18. - Tell me, what do you know of her? Have you spoken to her? - She languishes, moaning, a prisoner in that place.

19. But who could deny her to the Doge?

20. - Poor girl! - You agree?

21. Everything is arranged. I only ask to share in your perils and your power.

22. - So be it. - In life and in death?

24. Someone is coming… hide… Let this remain secret for now.

26. - At dawn all of you will come here? - All of us.

28. - No one votes for the patricians? - No one. We’ll vote for Lorenzino.

29. - He’s on Fieschi’s payroll. - Then whom to elect?

30. - A brave man of the people. - Good! You know of one here?

31. Who? Tell us his name!

32. - Simone, the corsair? - Yes, the corsair, to the high office!

33. - He’s here? - He will come. - And the Fieschi? - They’ll keep quiet.

35. See that gloomy dwelling? It’s the wicked haunt of the Fieschi!

36. An unhappy girl moans, buried in it;

37. Her sad laments are the only human voice one can hear coming from that vast tomb.

38. It’s been three moons since her sweet face gladdened the balconies of that lonely room.

39. When any man with pity in his heart passes by, he tries in vain to see the lovely prisoner, the poor Maria.

40. Those doors are only opened for the proud Fiesco, who purposefully wraps himself in a shadow of mystery.

41. But I saw at night through the deserted halls, a sinister wandering flame, as if of a demonic spirit!

42. Great God! It’s like a cave of ghosts! What horror!

44. - Look! The dire flame appears! - Oh heaven!

45. Away! Let’s drive away the demons with the sign of the cross!

46. - At dawn. - Here. Simone, with one voice.

48. Goodbye forever, proud palace, cold grave of my angel!

49. I was unable to protect you!

50. Oh cursed one! Vile seducer!

51. And you, Virgin, allowed her crown of virginity to be stolen?

52. Ah! What am I saying! I’m delirious! Forgive me!

54. The torn spirit of the sad father…

55. It has been kept for the torment of shame and grief.

56. She’s dead! Miserere!

57. The crown of the martyrs, gracious heaven gave her; restored to her the radiance of the angels,

58. - Pray, Maria, for me. - The gates are opened, never again shall we see her on earth!
