Here is a short excerpt from the Wikipedia synopsis of this scene:
"...The King Flippo II enters and becomes angry because the Queen Elisabetta is alone and unattended by her lady-in-waiting. He orders the lady-in-waiting who was meant to be attending her, the Countess of Aremberg, to return to France, prompting Elizabeth to sing a sorrowful farewell-aria to her beloved lady-in-waiting and friend. (Aria: "Non pianger, mia compagna"). King FIlippo II's suspicions and actions were deeply insulting to her majesty Elisabetta."

Libretto in English:
ELIZABETH
Do not cry, my partner,
Soothe your pain.
Bandit you are from Spain
But not from this cor
With you of my life
The dawn was still happy:
Return to his native,
My heart will follow you.
gives a ring to the Countess
Get extreme pledge
Of all my favor.
Hate unworthy outrage
Waves I blush again.
Do not say crying,
Of the raw my pain;
Return to home,
My heart will follow you.
Libretto in Italian:
ELISABETTA
Non pianger, mia compagna,
Lenisci il tuo dolor.
Bandita sei di Spagna
Ma non da questo cor
Con te del viver mio
L'alba fu lieta ancor:
Ritorna al suoi natio,
Ti seguirà il mio cor.
dà un anello alla Contessa
Ricevi estremo pegno
Di tutto il mio favor.
Cela l'oltraggio indegno
Onde arrossisco ancor.
Non dir del pianto mio,
Del crudo mio dolor;
Ritorna al suol natio,
Ti seguirà il mio cor.
