Fere Selvaggle Guilio Caccini

licar my lament, that, moving the wind to pity, made it tarry.
Hor che Seneca ~ morto cantiam Claudio Monteverdi
(is67-i643)
(from L'Incoronazione di Poppea; text by Gio. Francesco Busenello)
Now that Seneca is dead, love, I think once more of thee.
Guide my ship of hope safe to harbor and make me the wife of my king.

Octavia, wrongly exiled, despairs of her cruel fate as she bids
farewell to her beloved Rome.
