Opera
Opera Roberto Devereux by Donizetti: Queen Elizabeth describes how she loved Roberto.
L'amor suo mi fe' beata,
mi sembrò del cielo un dono...
E a quest'alma innamorata
ci rendea più caro il trono.
Ah! se fui, se fui tradita,
se quel cor più mio non è,
le delizie della vita
lutto e pianto son per me!
L'amor suo mi fe' beata,
mi sembrò del cielo un dono...
E a quest'alma innamorata
ci rendea più caro il trono.
Ah! se fui, se fui tradita,
se quel cor più mio non è,
le delizie della vita
lutto e pianto son per me!

Comment: "I think that this makes the most sense, especially if the Queen is using the Royal we. (Roberto didn't fancy her as much as she fancied him)"

I think the idea must be that the throne cost her more dearly, since she wasn't able to choose her own husband freely
