claudio monteverdiTwo Scenes from L’incoronazione di PoppeaText by Giovanni Francesco BusenelloTranslations by Grant Herreid

Arnalta, Poppea’s nurse, sings Poppea to sleep.

Arnalta: Adagiati, Poppea, Acquietati, anima mia: Sarai ben custodita.Oblivion soaveI dolci sentimenti In te, figlia, addormenti. Posatevi occhi ladri, Aperti deh che fate,Se chiusi anco rubate ? Poppea, rimanti in pace; Luci care e gradite, Dormite omai dormite.

As Poppea is to become Empress, Arnalta gloats over her changing fortunes.

Arnalta: Oggi sarà PoppeaDi Roma imperatrice;Io, che son la nutrice,Ascenderò delle grandezze i gradi:No, no, col volgo io non m’abbasso più;Chi mi diede del tu,Or con nova armoniaGorgheggierammi il “Vostra Signoria”Chi m’incontra per strada Mi dice: “fresca donna e bella ancora”,Ed io, pur so che sembroDelle Sibille il leggendario antico;

Be at ease, Poppea,lie quietly, my soul:you will be well guarded.May gentle oblivionlull your sweet feelingsto sleep, my child. Close, thieving eyes;ah, why stay open,since you steal hearts even when shut? Poppea, rest in peace;eyes, dear and pleasing,sleep now.

Today Poppea will bethe empress of Rome;I, who am her nurse,will climb the steps of status:No, I will not lower myself with the vulgar;those who were familiar with me,now in a new harmonyembellish me with warbling “Your Ladyship.”When they meet me in the streetthey say, “Fair lady, and still so beautiful,”and I know well enoughthat I resemble the decrepit Sybil in old legends;

Ma ogn’un così m’adula,Credendo guadagnarmi,Per interceder grazie da Poppea:Ed io fingendo di non capir le frodi,In coppa di bugia bevo le lodi.Io nacqui serva, e morirò matrona.Mal volentier morrò;Se rinascessi un di,Vorrei nascer matrona, e morir serva.Chi lascia le grandezzePiangendo a morte va.Ma chi servendo sta,Con più felice sorte,Come fin degli stenti ama la morte.

but they all praise me,intending to gain my helpin obtaining favors from Poppea.And I, pretending not to understand the conceit,from a cup of lies I drink up the praise.I was born a servant and shall die a lady.I do not want to die;If I were ever reborn,I would rather be born a lady, and die a servant.She who leaves behind grandeur at the endgoes to death weeping.But she who lives as a servant,with a happier fate,loves death, as the ending of hardship.
