"Non e maggior piacere che,
seguendo le fere,
fuggir de l'uomo i lusinghieri inviti
tirannie de' mariti
son troppo gravi, e troppo e il giogo amaro.
Viver in libertade e il dolce, il caro."
"There is no greater pleasure
than to flee
amidst the herds of wild animals
men and their mendacious flatteries
the tyranny of husbands
is too heavy
and their yolk too cruel
to live in freedom
is my dearest delight
and my sweetest desire"
"La Calisto" Francesco Cavalli
