Scene IV
[...]

(EPITIDE
Argìa. Merope, oh Cieli
Ah per l'ultima volta ---
MEROPE
Ancor t’arresti?
EPITIDE
Il tuo sposo son io.
ARGIA
Più non ti ascolto.
EPITIDE
Io sono il figlio tuo.
MEROPE
Tu me l’ai tolto.
EPITIDE)

Argia, Merope, Heav'ns! this last time ...
MEROPE
What, dost thou yet stay here?
EPITIDE
I am thy son.
MEROPE
I'm deaf.
EPITIDE
And am I to my spouse unknown? [to Argia.
Will not my mother lend an ear? [to Merope,
Say, oh ye gods, what have I done,
Deserves a torture thus severe!
I once was object of thy love;
Thou plac'd thy hopes in me thy son. [to Mer.
Speak; but thou dost faithless prove. [to Arg.
Believe; but thou art cruel grown. [to Mer.
What will ye both, than, let me die,
Ye gods, I find I can't prevail :
And now I feel my constancy,
And former courage both do fail.

Sposa non mi conosci? [ad Arg]
Madre tu non mi ascolti. [a Mer.]
(Cieli che feci mai!)
E pur sono il tuo Cor, [ad Arg.
Il tuo figlio, il tuo amor [a Mer.
La tua speranza.

Parla, ma sei infedel
Credi, ma sei sei crudel
Morir mi lascerai?
Oh dio! manca il valor
E la costanza
S.59

Parla... Ma sei infedel. (Ad Argia)
Credi... Ma sei crudel. (A Merope)
1405 O dio! Scampo non ho, non ho consiglio.

==Context==
True to the topic of the oratorio, parallels between Abel and Jesus are drawn. For reference:
<poem>
John 10:11-18:
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
[...]
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.<ref name="Bible"/></poem>
