Z 626 Dido and Aeneas III, 5: Dido's Lament [Neapolitan translation]

Thy hand Belinda, darkness shades me,

On thy bosom let me rest.

More I would, but Death invades me;

Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earth,

May my wrongs create no trouble in thy breast.

Remember me, remember me,

But ah! Forget my fate.
