Portale Guseppe Verdi Ing | Life and Operas | Aroldo |
 | | But Aroldo prefers to tell the story of a man who, hiding a letter in a book, insidiously abused the honour of a friend; a similar story, he goes on, is told in that book there on the table, and asks Mina for the key to open it. |
 | | Surprised, Aroldo asks Mina, who has arrived on the scene, to affirm her innocence, but at the woman's obstinate silence, he takes Egberto's sword and is about to attack Godvino, when he hears the chorus of the faithful singing the Miserere in the church. |
 | | Aroldo, touched, is not sure whether to punish Godvino, but at that moment, Egberto arrives with a bloody sword: he himself has executed the traitor. |
