Tragic Dido,
so, was the story true that came my way?
I heard that you were dead...
you took the final measure with a sword.
Oh, dear god, was it I who caused your death?
I swear by the stars, by the Powers on high, whatever
faith one swears by here in the depths of earth,
I left your shores, my Queen, against my will.
Infelix Dido, verus mihi nuntius ergo
Venerat exstinctam ferroque extrema secutam?
Funeris heu tibi causa fui? per sidera iuro,
Per superos et si qua fides tellure sub ima est,
Inuitus, regina, tuo de litore cessi.
