I am wife and I am scorned

Geminiano Giacomelli

I am wife and I am scorned,

I am faithful and I'm outraged.

Heavens, what have I done?

And yet he is my heart,

my husband, my love,

my hope.

I love him, but he is unfaithful,

I hope, but he is cruel,

will he let me die?

O God, valor is missing -

valor and constancy.
