SALEPH. Come mai siede solitaria la città già piena di popolo, la signora delle nazioni è come vedova: la donna di Provincie è obbligata al tributo?

¡CÓMO está sentada sola la ciudad populosa! La grande entre las naciones se ha vuelto como viuda, la señora de provincias es hecha tributaria.

How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!

How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave!
