The text was originally used by the composer, Johann Adolph Hasse, in the dramma per musica, Ipermestra (1744). The poet, Pietro Metastasio, was immensely popular in Vienna in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He lived during the Baroque period, but his poems and lyrical stanzas maintained popularity after his death in many different countries. It was common for composers, such as Bellini and Rossini, to take parts of Metastasio's texts from earlier works and set them to music of their own. "Ma rendi pur contento" is an example of Bellini taking an excerpt from a larger work, Ipermestra, and setting it to his own music.

2nd answer

'Ma rendi pur contento" is the sixth of a set titled 'Sei ariette,' or 'Six little arias,' by Bellini, to the text by Metastasio.

Does anyone have an English tranlsation of the aria Un marito donne care from La Finta Semplice by Mozart?

Un marito, donne care, A husband, dear ladies, Ci bisogna ritrovare, We need yet to discover, Che non mangi, Who does not eat, che non beva, who does not drink, Che da noi tutto riceva, Who accepts from us all, Che a noi lasci commander. Who lets us command. Se così non si ritrova, If such a one cannot be found, Ne si può farne di meno, And we cannot do without one, Far con esso un patto almeno At least make a bargain with him, Ch'egli mangi, quando ha fame, That he eat when he is hungry, Ch'egli beva quando ha sete, That he drink when he is thirsty, Ma, ne lasci sole e chete But leaves us alone and quiet Far noi pur qualche ne par. To do whatever we like.
