Lyrics
HYACINTHUS:
Non est
OEBALUS:
Quis ergo Nate! dic, si Patrem amas,
Quis te peremit?
HYACINTHUS:
Zephyrus heu me! si Deus
Adesset!
OEBALUS:
Heu, iam moritur!
HYACINTHUS:
O Pater! Pater!
Mors est acerba!
OEBALUS:
Nate!
HYACINTHUS:
Genitor! Ah! Vale!
(Moritur.)
OEBALUS:
Hyacinthe! Nate! vixit exanimis iacet!
Apollo, dixit, innocens est, o Pater!
Crede mihi, non est Zephyrus est auctor necis.
Sic ergo mecum Zephyre ter mendax! agis?
Sic Numen ipsum sceleris et tanti reum
Arguere, sic me fallere haud Regem times?
Cruente! faxim crimen hoc proprio luas
Cruore! Mortem Filii an inultus feram?
HYACINTHUS:
It was not he...
OEBALUS:
Who was it then, my son? Tell me, if you love your father,
who killed you?
HYACINTHUS:
Zephyrus. Woe is me... If only... the god...
had been here...
OEBALUS:
Alas, now he's dying...
HYACINTHUS:
Oh father!... Father!
Death... is... bitter!
OEBALUS:
My son!
HYACINTHUS:
Father!... Ah! Farewell!...
(He dies.)
OEBALUS:
Hyacinthus! My son!.. His life is over. He lies dead!
Apollo is innocent, father!, he said. Believe me,
it was not he Zephyrus is the author of my death.
Is this then how you treat me, ever lying Zephyrus?
Have you thus accused the god himself of so foul a
crime, and do you not fear to deceive me, the King?
Bloodthirsty one! I'll avenge this crime with your
own blood! Should I bear a son's death unavenged?
