Sacra la scelta è d'un consorte, Miller's aria from Luisa Miller

Sacra la scelta è d'un consorte,
esser appieno libera deve:
Nodo che sciorre sol può la morte
mal dalla forza legge...riceve.
Non son tiranno, padre son io,
non...si comanda de' figli al cor.
In terra un padre somiglia Iddio
per la bontade, non pel rigor.
