Remarks about the translation
<Bridge> translation "he's ingrateful, I see him, and he's sitting on the throne"</bridge>
The Italian version comes from Galuppi's "Adriano in Siria" (1760).(on pirulito's notification)

I don't understand almost anything
Yes, almost every word is really in Italian, but there's no "coerence"

"lo veggio"????
E may mean "and...", but "È" (is) too...

Ma siede nel soglio... Ma siede sulla soglia... but he sets on the threshold... ???

Translation is in stand-by until someone asks the requester about the source-language to edit the text.

I hope to help you. The form is correct but it is written in archaic way.


"Lo veggio" means "I see it/him", in this case "I see him". It is an archaic form of the verb to see.


"soglio" = throne.

Thanks Ricciodimare, so it would mean : "he's ingrateful, I see it, and he's sitting on the throne"?

Didn't succeed to find this quote at your link, pirulito, should I edit something anyway from the comments area?

OK, I found it, it is said by Sabina :
"È ingrato, lo veggio;
ma siede nel soglio."
Thanks for the link, and for the comments, I'll add it too in the comments area.
