ACT I.

CHORUS.

Handel.

YOUR harps and cymbals found to great Jeho

vah's praise,

Unto the Lord of Hofts your willing voices raife.

SONG. Mr. NIEL D.

Handel.

Chastity, thou cherub bright,

Gentle as the dawn of light,

Soft as Mufic's dying strain,

Teach the fair how vain is beauty
When she breaks the bounds of duty;
Vain are charms, and graces vain.

AIR. Mr. SALE.

Bacchus, ever fair and young,

Drinking joys did first ordain ;
Bacchus' bleffings are a treasure ;

Drinking is the foldier's pleasure;

Rich the treasure,

Sweet the pleasure ;

Sweet is pleasure after pain.

Handel,

CHORUS.

Bacchus' bleffings are a treasure;

Drinking is the foldier's pleasure !
Rich the treafure,

Sweet the pleasure ;

Sweet is pleasure after pain.

DUET, (Solomon.) Signor PACCHIEROTTI and Signora STORACE.

Ev'ry joy that wisdom knows

May'ft thou, pious monarch, fhare!

Ev'ry bleffing Heav'n bellows

Be thy portion virtuous fair!

Gently flow thy rolling days.

Sorrow be a ftranger here.

May thy people found thy praife,
Praise unbought by price or fear!

Handel.

SONG. Madame M A R A.

My father!-Ah! methinks I fee
The sword inflict the deadly wound;
He bleeds—he falls in agony

Dying he bites the crimson ground.

Handel.

AIR. Signor PACCHIEROTTI.

Jehovah, crown'd with glory bright,
Surrounded with eternal light;
Whofe minifters are flames of fire;

Arife, and execute thine ire.

CHORUS.

He comes, he comes to end our woes,
And pour his vengeance on our foes.
Earth trembles, lofty mountains nod;
Jacob, arife, and meet thy God.

Handel.
