Our next motion, The sorceress's aria from Dido and Aeneas

Our next motion must be to storm her lover on the ocean,
Fron the ruin of others our pleasures we borrow,
Elissa bleeds tonight and Carthage flames tomorrow!

Italian Translation of Our Next Motion, the Sorceress's aria
	from Dido and Aeneas

La nostra prossima mossa sia di far cogliere da  
              tempesta sull'oceano il suo amante,
dall'altrui rovina traiam i nostri piaaceri,
Elissa piange stanotte, Cartagine brucerà domani.
